Property description

Location, Yard, Neighborhood, Quality, and History. These are the qualities that drew them to 5 Wright St and await you today. Set between Harvard & Porter Squares, the house is perfectly located to live a balanced urban life - you have easy access to shopping, restaurants & public transportation while also having a large private yard and an elegant residence. The house offers the style and sense of permanence that accompany Second Empire architecture: the ceilings are high, the rooms are well proportioned, the moldings are deep & the windows are large. Tucked under the mansard roof are 3 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms, and at the back of the house on the 1st floor is a bright room that can serve as either a 4th bedroom or an office. Just beyond the kitchen door, an unusually large side yard provides a world unto itself for gardening, dining, entertaining & playing. Built in c.1873, it has been home to many who have enjoyed its warmth, authenticity & fantastic location, might you be the next?
