West Roxbury Wow: What $1.1 Million Looks Like

It has a picket fence, too.

WEST ROXBURY, MA — The kitchen isn't huge, but this home, built in 1886 can be forgiven for that and for the wall paper. From the stone porch to the cool entry way and hard wood floors and lighting throughout, this is a charmer. Also: check out the spacious back yard.

It's been on the market for a little more than a month and in that time the price has gone down by $100,000, which gets it a smidge closer to the median sales price in the neighborhood of $742,000.
