Boston's biggest neighborhood by area has seen some big sales lately. This fixer-upper recently went for nearly $100K over asking and this 1980 Victorian also sold way above its price. Here's a chance to peek into the splendor of the grand Queen Anne Romanesque Revival going for $899K, complete with a Moorish dining room right there in Dot. Got a more understated style?
