The variety here is a defining feature. Layouts run from sun-filled one-bedroom flats to three-bedroom residences, with many multi-level and character-rich configurations. Notable examples include the Weld Mansion penthouse—a triplex with a distinctive turret spanning three levels—along with second- and third-floor mansion residences on the "piano nobile" featuring floor-to-ceiling arched windows. The former Craft House units, converted from an old laundry house, retain original steel pulleys, while the carriage house and blacksmith shop offer freestanding, duplex-style living. Several units feature spiral staircases, lofts, vaulted ceilings up to 15+ feet, and multiple fireplaces. One 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath unit is listed at 1,008 square feet with a galley kitchen and separate entrance.
Listings emphasize a "country living in the city" experience—pastoral, secluded grounds with commanding Arboretum views, yet urban access. The location offers easy proximity to the MBTA Orange Line, downtown Boston, and the Longwood Medical Area, making it practical for commuters while delivering a private, nature-forward retreat with direct trail access to one of Boston's premier green spaces.
