All original details are intact and await to be lovingly restored in this nearly 6,900/sf, 6-story home with a garden, roof terrace, and full basement (not included in the square footage). Abutting the property is the historic public garden Amster Yard (said to have been the terminal stop of the Boston Stage Coach on the Eastern Post Road in the 18th Century).

First Floor: Office with design room and private garden. Second and Third Floor: Duplex apartment consisting of living room, dining room, kitchen, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, 2 fireplaces, and ample closet space.
