Perhaps one of the most beloved of Jamaica Plain homes, 23 Alveston is set back from the street boasting a singular, elegant stature - a noble, ornate edifice rising in the sunlight mottled by the surrounding ancient trees. With its notable architecture, it is described as the most lavish of 4 elaborate Second Empire houses on Historic Sumner Hill.
Bountiful period details feature a rare twisted, hanging staircase with black walnut banister & illuminated statuary newel post; deep moldings dance up and around imposing doors & floor-to-ceiling bay windows; floors flow in varied woods. Decorative mantels adorn the rooms in white, gray and precious black marble.
These lofty lodgings inspire family life or entertaining in the grand style. Double Parlors in splendid symmetry flank the entry Foyer, a magnificent formal Dining Room with chestnut paneling entreats and a Library follows. Sleeping quarters consist of 4 Bedrooms including a stately Master with Dressing Room. A spacious, separate 2-Bedroom apartment, & an au-pair suite each provide lifestyle options or potential for expansion.
The outdoors beckon with a sprawling patio overlooking lush, estate-like grounds.
Imagine a quiet & beauty reminiscent of a country manor with the spirit of the city just a reach away. Imagine a home where you can unfold all your wishes. Imagine intimate or grandiose events that whisper the past or create the future. 23 Alveston - the stuff that dreams are made of. |
