Property Description

Own a piece of Boston history! Welcome to 28 Melville Avenue, a distinguished Tudor-style historic home nestled on one of Dorchester’s most sought-after streets. Built in 1891 by renowned builder Julian H. Mason for Robert Brown Jr. and his wife Hester Brown—this residence is a rare architectural gem exuding timeless elegance. The home offers 5 bedrooms, 2 grand living rooms, 3 baths, a 2 car oversized garage + elongated driveway and 3,150 sq. ft. of living space on a 7,500 sq. ft. lot. Recent updates include fully insulated, knob-and-tube removed, and landscaped grounds. This home showcases extraordinary craftsmanship boasting original plasterwork created through a unique clay modeling technique, intricate decorative moldings featuring thistles, Tudor roses, and interlacing moons, and stunning wainscoting and cornices in the dining room. The library is finished in rich cypress, while the hall and staircase feature oak detailing. Now is the time for its 2026 customization/updating.
