Location, Yard, Neighborhood, Quality, and History. These are the qualities that drew them to 5 Wright Street and await you today. Set between Harvard and Porter Squares, the house is perfectly located to live a balanced urban life - you have easy access to shopping, restaurants and public transportation while also having a large private yard and an elegant residence. The house offers the style and sense of permanence that accompany Second Empire architecture: the ceilings are high, the rooms are well proportioned, the moldings are deep and the windows are large. Tucked under the mansard roof are 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and at the back of the house on the 1st floor is a bright room that can serve as either a 4th bedroom or an office. Just beyond the kitchen door, an unusually large side yard provides a world unto itself for gardening, dining, entertaining and playing. Built in c.1873, it has been home to many who have enjoyed its warmth, authenticity and fantastic location, might you be the next?
