Shingle your sensation in Rozzie
An experienced realtor would describe the circa1930 single-family at 28 Ainsworth St. in Roslindale as a shingle Victorian imbued with Arts & Crafts details, but a child might remark that it looks like a storybook house.
In this case, they’re both right. The home’s curb appeal is only bested by its character-filled interior and huge backyard. Sited on a prized double lot of 0.21 acres which includes a twocar garage, the home is just a 15-minute walk from Roslindale Village, Arnold Arboretum, and Allandale Woods.
The joy of this home is in the details, and there is an abundance of delightful architectural moments throughout that the new owners will uncover over time. Among those, stained and leaded glass accents, a brick fireplace, period builtin cabinetry and seating, pocket doors and so much more.
Although the home has been updated in places, it’s kept its vintage allure that’s homey and welcoming. The coffered ceiling and built-ins in the dining room are special and the buyer who loves them is really, really going to love them.
There’s heft to the home, with three living levels, close to 2,300 square feet, and five bedrooms. Recently renovated, the master bedroom enjoys lots of natural light thanks to an array of windows, as well as a custom appointed walkin closet and sleek master bathroom with all-new subway tile, trendy fixtures and a double vanity.
Get kids or the family dog properly tuckered out, hone your green thumb, or entertain in style — the home’s yard and patio area are pristine and shaded by mature trees.
On the market for $1,095,000, the home is represented by Jesse Gustafson with Unlimited Sotheby’s International Realty, 617642-4787.
