Description

When asked to describe her home, the first word out of her mouth was FUN. In the heart of Inman Sq. and surrounded by restaurants, bars, & boutiques, 30 Houghton St. is a cute little Mansard single family house that provides the perfect spot for a rich urban lifestyle. The main floor is open and airy and spills out to a large deck with an awesome yard. Upstairs there are three light filled bedrooms and a full bath and downstairs there is a full basement with laundry. The owners improved the house...When asked to describe her home, the first word out of her mouth was FUN. In the heart of Inman Sq. and surrounded by restaurants, bars, & boutiques, 30 Houghton St. is a cute little Mansard single family house that provides the perfect spot for a rich urban lifestyle. The main floor is open and airy and spills out to a large deck with an awesome yard. Upstairs there are three light filled bedrooms and a full bath and downstairs there is a full basement with laundry. The owners improved the house by replacing the heating system, adding air conditioning, removing the lead paint and replacing the roof. They rebuilt the front stoop for better neighborhood visiting and took special care of the large River Birch that held up their daughters’ swing. 30 Houghton Street has been good to them but now it is time to move on and they are excited to hand the house over to someone who will find living there as fun as they did. Showings BY APPOINTMENT on Saturday and Sunday 10:30 am - 1:00 pm.
