Situated on a corner lot, just a ½ mile from Roslindale Village, this 3 bedroom, late-Victorian single-family home beautifully showcases a seamless blend of early 20th century details and some exquisite modern updates.

The foyer’s inlaid tile flooring is a design focus of 172 Durnell. The sparkling full bath has a quartz vanity, modern fixtures, Carrara Bella marble mosaic tile, and a soaking tub. The sleek kitchen has quartz counters, stainless appliances, pendant lights, a mix of open shelving and cabinets, and a whimsical hex tile backsplash. Its beautiful herringbone flooring seamlessly transitions into the dining room’s gleaming refinished wood floors. The rest of this special home enjoys the warmth of pristinely restored original pine and fir medium plank wood floors.

Upstairs you’ll find three ample bedrooms and access to a walk-up, unfinished attic for storage or expansion potential.  The wood flooring continues to be a warm invitation into every room on the second floor. 172 Durnell’s high ceilings and many well-preserved details harken to its late era Victorian beginnings.

Located on a sunny corner lot, the home enjoys plenty of natural light, especially on the southwest side. The rear yard, with new cedar fencing that surrounds a lovingly designed and painstakingly constructed patio space, is a paradise of perennials that will delight your inner gardener.

172 Durnell Ave finds itself just above the heart of Roslindale Village. It’s a quick stroll straight down Birch Street into the exciting center where you’ll have convenient access to all the tasty restaurants, retail stores, pubs, a commuter rail stop, and the Roslindale Farmers Market.

Boston Home Team Favorites

753 South - Well executed bistro food, casual chic, hideaway patio, and it’s the coolest place to meet up in the Village.

Delfino - Arguably the best Italian in all of Boston. Fight us.

Effie’s Kitchen - Authentic Greek food from gyros to salads and mouthwatering pita bread.

Fornax Bread - Artisan bakery serving coffee and other delights. Rozzie’s best egg sandwich contender?

Square Root Rozzie - Arthouse music cafe meets sandwich board pub. Live music, great beer, good food. THE place for live music in Roslindale.

Sophia’s Grotto - Regular fave for many local Rozidents. Romantically tucked away from the streets in the middle of the Village.

Tony’s Market - Butcher shop + Italian foods & specialty items. “The best” - Tony. He’s right.

Roslindale Farmers Market - It’s a community party every week! Also, it’s Boston’s oldest, longest running Farmers Market.

Distraction Brewery - Delicious locally brewed suds on the first floor of the same building that houses the Bay State Model Train Museum upstairs.

Obosá - Tasty Nigerian fare halfway up Belgrade, on the road to West Roxbury. Get the puff puff and/or the joloff!

Pleasant Cafe - A classic mid-century throwback restaurant with legendary pizza.
