Charlestown Wow: $3.8M Home Hasn't Been For Sale In 165 Years

CHARLESTOWN, MA — Just five years after Charlestown became a city in 1848 and a couple decades before it was annexed by Boston in 1874, this Greek Revival mansion was built on a cobblestone road named Mount Vernon Avenue just around the corner from the Bunker Hill monument. For some 165 years, however, the house has never been up for sale, according to the real estate agent. But on Monday that changed.

The seven-bedroom, 4,555 sq foot home is now for sale for $3.8 million.

If the claw foot tubs and the molding on the staircases or the location and the sweet kitchen don't get you. Check out the cupola room.

Here's what else the realtor had to say about it:

• Address: 6 Mount Vernon Ave, Boston, Massachusetts
• Price: $3,750,000
• Square Feet: 4555
• Bedrooms: 7
• Bathrooms: 3 Baths
• Built: 1853
• Features: Presented for the first time in its 165-year history, Six Mount Vernon Avenue is set on a quiet corner, beyond a manicured garden, a focal point of its neighborhood for generations. From the crown of its stately cupola to the double doors of its trim Victorian entryway, its historical detail has been precisely maintained: the peaked crossheads of its moldings, the broad fir wood flooring, the haloes of its ceiling medallions. The master bath features an extra-large glassed-in shower with double shower heads, Jacuzzi tub, marble floors, heated towel rack and double vanity. There is a chef’s kitchen with Brazilian cherry floors, solid maple cabinetry, granite countertops, breakfast bar, and gas Viking range that leads out to the private patio. Light spills through 6-foot windows and rebounds through its 4 levels and 11 rooms. A peerless jewel.
