Pass through a wrought iron gate and into a private brick walkway to reach this antique abode in Charlestown. Fronted by a patio with a garden and a small porch, the home is hidden from plain view, making for a charming little escape off of Main Street.

Once inside, you’ll see why this might be the cutest townhouse in all of Charlestown. Its exposed bricks and beams are just the beginning—the home brims with old-world charm. Original pumpkin pine floors grace all three levels, while a stained glass door elevates the mudroom. The kitchen offers an abundance of cabinet space in addition to its pantry, and the adjoining dining room easily seats six. Upstairs, built-in bookcases and large windows complete the living room. Plus, on the fourth floor, a sizable roof deck boasts views of the Boston skyline.
