Property Description

Rarely does a historic waterfront estate offer such seamless urban convenience. Experience Charles River living at the historic Robert Murray House, an 1850s Greek Revival Italian Colonial boasting expansive river views from most rooms. This unique property sits on a rare 1/3-acre fenced lot, featuring a private dock for fishing and boating, and a spacious deck for entertaining and enjoying sunsets on the water. Despite its tranquil setting, this home is exceptionally walkable—located just steps from Moody Street’s popular shops, restaurants, and public transit, including the commuter rail. Inside, enjoy tall ceilings and period details like a marble fireplace and crown moldings. The layout features a granite kitchen with stainless appliances, a formal dining room, and a versatile skylit finished attic. Other attributes include ductless A/C, a 2022 heating system, a basement workshop, and an EV charger. A rare opportunity to own a large waterfront plot in a vibrant urban setting.
