California startups LimeBike and Spin plan to deploy about 2,000 dockless bikes in 15 municipalities region-wide by this summer. Here’s how much they’ll cost and other details.
The house dating from 1937 has some serious dimensions—including three floors of living space and the potential for five bedrooms—and serious amenities such as a heated in-ground pool.
It retains some of that late-18th-century charm in its floorboards, five fireplaces, and exterior. Otherwise, the house is pretty modern—not least because of the appliances and because of updates such as a new heating-and-AC system.
The house has three full bathrooms and the potential for four bedrooms. The granite-heavy kitchen is the product of a recent redo, and there is lots of natural light given the open and capacious design.
Several parts of the 2,108-square-foot colonial at 72 Westminster Road were updated in 2010 and 2012, including the lower level, the kitchen, and the main bathroom upstairs.
Typical of the area, there is plenty of room: Four floors, including a finished basement; the potential for six bedrooms; six full bathrooms, plus a half; walk-in closets; etc.
The bones of 9 Old Orchard Road date from around 1714, when a local notable named Ebeneezer Stone relocated from Watertown to Newton and built the beginnings of it.
The three-story house runs to as much as 4,688 square feet—or 3,665 square feet, according to the City of Newton—and contains the potential for up to eight bedrooms.
Unsurprisingly, the spread is airy and light-filled, with lots of cleanly defined open space. Surprisingly, perhaps, it also comes with three garaged parking spots.
The 14-room 69 Farlow Road just over the Boston line dates from 1928, and was majorly renovated in the 1970s. It’s been in the same family for about 50 years and is now on the sales market.
This 14-room, 5,733-square-foot house is located appropriately enough on Manor House Road—appropriately enough because it actually looks like some sort of manor house from an English period piece.
The 5,444-square-foot, 12-room house at 1428 Commonwealth Avenue dates from 1926, and has been "meticulously renovated," according to its listing. There’s a saltwater pool out back, too.
Henry Hobson Richardson, one of the 19th century’s leading architects, designed 74 Ober Road in the mid-1880s as a summer house. In 1982, PBS’ This Old House transformed the property into five condos.
And, because public transit is the Boston region’s great leveler, the listing for this million-dollar-plus home with a big yard and plenty of parking makes clear that it is "4 short blocks from the Eliot Green-line T stop."
The late architect designed the house at 20 Drumlin Road shortly before its 1949 construction. His clients owned it well into the 21st century. Its current owners—who are selling the property—acquired it in 2009, and set about modernizing the midcentury modern.
Among the 17 rooms of the mansion at 65 Essex Road is a pub. The brick colonial also boasts six bedrooms, six full bathrooms, an incredible 9,282 square feet, a dark room (people still use those?), and a pool. Here’s how much it wants.
