Home of the Week: For $1.2M in Hyde Park, a 5-bedroom stone Victorian circa 1899

"Located in the Fairmount Hill section of Boson's Hyde Park neighborhood, this home was built in 1899 and is defined by its rubble stone exterior, sweeping semi-circular bays, and a dramatic round-arched entry recessed behind rugged, projecting stonework, as a Massachusetts Historical Commission researcher noted. Conical bay roofs and shingled gables are suggestive of famed 19th-century architect H. H. Richardson, though the actual architect is unknown."

"The 33-square-foot foyer, with hardwood flooring in a herringbone pattern, provides access to a stairwell and rooms in the towers on the left and right - mirror images in shape and size but with differing duties. There is also a half-bath with a wall-mounted rectangular sink, exposed pipes,, wallpaper, and Nantucket beadboard wainscoting. To the left is the formal living room with the expected curved walls, hardwood flooring original to the home,"

"To the right is the formal dining room with a chair rail, large windows, cast iron radiators, and hardwood flooring. There is a central chandelier, recessed lighting, and heating vents high on the walls. There is also a stone-faced fireplace, a portion of which bends around the corner, pulling guests into the kitchen. The kitchen is rectangular with tile flooring and stainless steel appliances. On the right is a cabinet with a butcher block top,"

Located in Fairmount Hill, Hyde Park, the 1899 Victorian sits behind rubble stone perimeter walls and is defined by a rubble stone exterior, sweeping semi-circular bays, conical bay roofs, shingled gables, and a dramatic round-arched recessed entry. The 3,507-square-foot house has five bedrooms, two full baths, one half bath, public sewer and water, and annual taxes of $9,589 without a residential exemption. Interior details include a 33-square-foot herringbone hardwood foyer, mirrored tower rooms, original hardwood floors, stone-faced fireplaces, cast-iron radiators, chandeliers with recessed lighting updates, and a rectangular kitchen with tile flooring and stainless steel appliances.
