Situated on a coveted corner lot on Beacon Hill, this 1948 vintage jewel box delivers charm at every turn. A cozy entry sets the tone, opening to nostalgic living and dining rooms, crowned with coved ceilings, anchored by original oak floors, fireplace, inviting both quiet evenings and lively gatherings. The main floor kitchen and bath remain wonderfully true to their period character, marvelous if not outright adorable, full of personality newer construction cannot replicate. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms and a three-quarter bath offer flexible space for guests, a home office, or hobbies. Two bedrooms on the main level for four total and 1.75 baths. The full-height, partly finished basement adds a rec room with second fireplace and a retro bar, ready for entertaining, movie nights, or simply unwinding. Efficiency meets sustainability with solar panels and heat pump for heating and cooling, while the thirty-year roof still has roughly half its life ahead – smart, practical value built right in. Step outside to a mostly fenced backyard with a covered patio and garden space, primed for your vision, whether that means raised beds, a play area, or simply room to breathe. A detached garage adds even more potential: studio, workshop, outdoor entertaining space, or future ADU conversion. On clear winter days, catch partial city and harbor views from this edge of ridge setting. A rare blend of quintessential vintage character, modern efficiency w/room to grow; centrally located.
