Historic brownstone in Dorchester featuring 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths across three levels, PLUS a legal 1-bedroom, 1-bath garden-level apartment with a reliable long-term tenant paying $2,377/month (direct deposit). A tasteful blend of old-world charm and modern amenities, with all the comforts of a recently renovated home. Beautifully refinished hardwood floors, marble tile, custom built-ins, five 18th-century marble fireplaces, and custom stained-glass transoms and high-end design add character throughout. The open-concept living, dining, and kitchen areas make entertaining a breeze. The chef's kitchen features stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, a gas range, wine fridge/bar, abundant storage, and an adjacent newly added first-floor half bath. The second floor offers two spacious bedrooms and a beautifully renovated bathroom with a tub and rain shower. The third-floor primary suite boasts three built-in dressers, two walk-in closets, and a luxurious private bath. The fourth bedroom includes a new washer and dryer and an updated full bath. Enjoy a huge, partially covered deck overlooking a private, low-maintenance turf yard with landscaping and a new wood privacy fence. Extensive renovations in 2025 included updated systems, central air, a new boiler, updated electrical, tankless hot water heaters, and more! Just four blocks from the Upham's Corner T station (10 minutes to South Station) + parking available. Nothing left to do but move in! Note: Maps and Street View haven’t caught up with the beautiful improvements to the block. Come see the transformation in and around 20 W Cottage for yourself!
