Overlooking John Harvard Mall in Charlestown’s historic gaslight district, this handsome, more than five bedrooms and four and a half bath, bow front brick townhome, offers 4,000 square feet of living space and two covered parking spaces. Built circa 1875, the home was rebuilt from the brick façade inward in 2009/10, with all-new framing and major systems, then thoughtfully reimagined in 2024/25 for modern family living. The main level is open and filled with light, with living, dining, and kitchen spaces flowing together beneath crown molding and custom millwork. A gas fireplace with porcelain surround anchors the living area, and a multi-zone sound system carries music throughout. The chef’s kitchen centers on a large marble-topped island and is equipped with a new Thermador six-burner range with grill and double ovens, plus a Sub-Zero refrigerator. Oversized windows and skylights brighten the space, and a French door opens to a private side porch for outdoor dining and grilling. A powder room services this level. The entire second floor is reserved for the primary suite, with dual walk-in closets and a spa-style bath featuring a freestanding soaking tub, double vanity, and oversized walk-in shower. The third-floor features two generous bedrooms with dual custom closets; a dedicated home office, full bath, and laundry center. The fourth-floor adds a custom built-in library or study and guest suite. Above it all, the roof deck offers 360-degree views of Boston Harbor and the city skyline. The lower provides versatile living space: a media room with wet bar and Euro Cave wine refrigerator, a gym or au pair suite, an oversized mudroom with heated floor, abundant storage, and second washer/dryer. A two car covered driveway is just off the mudroom. Historic character, modern systems, and a coveted location make this a turnkey Charlestown home.
