Originally built around 1883, 26 Hobart Street is a beautifully renovated 2/3‑family home that blends period charm with modern comforts. When it was listed in January 2008 for $399,000, buyers were drawn to the home’s striking Victorian façade with its turret and front porch as well as the open interior layout. The home boasts an open living/dining area anchored by a fireplace and exposed brick, and a granite kitchen with stainless appliances and a wine fridge.

Upstairs you’ll find four generous bedrooms and two updated marble baths. One bath includes a spa‑like whirlpool tub while the other offers a generous walk‑in shower. Throughout the home you’ll appreciate high ceilings, newly refinished hardwood floors and central air conditioning and vacuum systems. The renovations have been executed thoughtfully to highlight original details while providing convenience and efficiency.

In March 2008 the home sold for $397,000, slightly under its list price after only a couple of months on the market. Along with its interior upgrades, the property offers one‑car parking and a convenient Oak Square location. The Charles River and a nearby playground are just down the street, while local shops, dining and fitness centres are all within walking distance. This charming Victorian shows how a classic Boston 2/3‑family can offer comfortable living and lasting value.
