From the original 2017 listing
Here is a grand dame on Powderhorn Hill, which I consider to be the more like the suburb of Chelsea than the city as the neighborhood feels does not have an urban feel as much as other neighborhoods of Chelsea. The neighborhood is anchored by Malone Park, which is a large dog-friendly park that overlooks the Boston skyline and it is close and convenient to everything. The #111 and the #112 picks up close by and brings the residents to and from Haymarket and Wellington Station, on the Orange Line The #116 and #117 bring people to the Blue Line. The Commuter Rail brings Chelsea Residents to Boston in one stop. The Silver Line is slated to open by next spring, which will run to and from Chelsea to South Station and the Seaport District. Chelsea is close to Boston, is only 1.8 square miles in diameter, so nothing is too far away. There are two malls, tons of great restaurants and the real estate prices are very affordable compared to other cities such as Cambridge, Charlestown, Somerville, Charlestown, Brookline and even East Boston. Chelsea is easy access to Boston via the Tobin Bridge, The Ted Williams Tunnel, route 16 to route 99 and the Sumner/Callahan tunnels in East Boston. Chelsea has lots of shopping and Revere beach is only a couple of miles away.

Here sits a bright and sunny large home circa 1890 that sits high atop Powderhorn Hill, which is what I consider to be the suburbs of Chelsea. The home has modern updates, however maintains the character and charm of yesteryear and the end of the Victorian Era. There are original hardwood floors, stained glass, a fireplace, original doors and moldings. The vaulted ceiling in the kitchen is a fantastic entertaining area that overlooks the large back yard. There are five bedrooms and 2.5 baths on three living levels. There are fantastic views of the Boston skyline from the third floor. This home is a great place to raise a family, share with housemates or even rent it out. Don’t miss the chance to purchase this fabulous home!
