Beacon Hill townhouse dating from 1845 on sale for $3.7M

The 10-room, four-fireplace townhouse at 86 Chestnut Street in Beacon Hill dates from 1845, and the Coldwell Banker listing for the newly for-sale spread offers it as a potential renovation opportunity.

The 3,010-square-foot house appears pretty stately already. And the wallpaper definitely adds some character, though we’d understand if that were the first to go in a revamp.

The spread has the potential for four bedrooms. It also possesses one of the more ornate gardens in Beacon Hill and an unfinished basement that tips the house’s total square footage toward 4,000 even.
