Beautifully landscaped Boston-Edison mansion asks $700K

Boston Boulevard between Woodward and the Lodge was busy last year, as three homes sold for over $1 million. Across from this new listing, both the Charles T. Fisher Mansion and the Briggs Stone Hedge Mansion found new owners, while down the street, the Motown Mansion went for $1.65 million.

This new listing isn’t as polished as the others, and that’s reflected in the price. The 5,320-square-foot mansion with a partial stone facade has had the same owners for a long time, and many rooms could use some refreshing. We’d love to see the living room without the mirrors, drapes, or carpeting. There’s a lot of white carpeting here, but also many original details. It has a wood paneled study, original tiling in the bathrooms, a grand staircase, and a three-season room leading to a gorgeous backyard. Outside, find a deck, koi pond, and stone wall with pergola. Also find inside a basement with a bar and room for a theater. It’s listed through Jim Shaffer and Associates for $699,900.
