20 Willard Street, Chelsea, MA 02150 — Charles Kibby House — Video Tour

20 Willard Street, Chelsea, MA 02150 · 3 bd / 2.5 ba · MLS #72721637

This short tour, published on September 4, 2020, introduces 20 Willard Street as its owners had renewed it: a turn-of-the-century Victorian brought up to date, filmed around its new roof deck and the exceptional views that sit at the centre of the home’s appeal.

The house is one half of the Charles Kibby House, the mirror-image pair built around 1900 by J. H. Kibby and Son, the Chelsea building firm — Charles Kibby lived in this side with his wife Elizabeth until 1921. The 2020 listing (MLS #72721637) recorded three bedrooms, two full and one half bath, ten rooms and 2,473 square feet, with a Low Art Tile fireplace surround, built-in glass-doored cupboards and unusually generous closets. The owners’ updates ran to a new roof and roof deck, new air conditioning and electric, a new master suite with full bath, walk-in closet and in-unit laundry, mostly new windows and a new cedar fence. Jeffrey Bowen’s register later records the home renting in November 2020 and selling in March 2022 for $660,000.

Willard Street stands on Soldiers Hill, one of Chelsea’s established residential high points, where the porches and roof decks look toward the Boston skyline. It is a street of substantial period houses, and this one carries its builder’s name in the record — a piece of Chelsea building history that is still a family home.
