Shawmut House | Historic Townhouse in the Heart of Boston

3 Bedroom House in Shawmut, Boston

If you are looking for quaint, historical Boston, our three-bedroom apartment is a gem. Located in an historic 1860s townhouse in the heart of Boston, it has three bedrooms with two queen beds, one double bed, one twin, and 1.5 bathrooms.
Bay Village is the smallest and one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city. It defines "location, location, location". Our neighborhood is just south of the Boston Public Garden, and adjacent to Back Bay, South End, Chinatown, and the Theater District. All of historical Boston is nearby by foot or public transportation and all amenities you could hope for are nearby. Our street has been described by the Boston Herald as "... out of a Sherlock Holmes story." Just walk into our quiet, residential neighborhood and you'll immediate know why we locals say, "its always nicer in Bay Village."
The apartment has many historic features like exposed wood beam ceilings, original fireplaces, open layout, and original plank flooring in the living room. and other unique details.
Being an old house, it was built before standardized building requirements. The stairs are very steep into the building - about 1-2 inches steeper than many are used to climbing. The stairs down to the lower levels are very narrow and the staircase to the lowest level has low head clearance.
Bring very comfortable walking shoes! Boston is a premier walking city! Where Bostonians can't walk, we will likely take the T (our Metro system), buses, or a ride share.
Parking is available at several parking garages, several within about a 5 minute walk
