Originally built in 1905, this substantial Dorchester residence showcases remarkable architectural detail and exceptional scale, including a grand entry with a sweeping curved staircase, high ceilings, and well-proportioned rooms. Designed by J. Williams Beal and known as the former home of Judge Albert F. Hayden, the property holds a notable place in Boston’s early 20th-century history. Now configured as a two-family property, each unit offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, full kitchens, and expansive living areas. The layout supports a variety of living arrangements and presents potential for future reconfiguration or additional living space, including the possibility of an accessory dwelling unit in the cavernous basement(buyer to perform due diligence). Situated on a large 1/4 acre lot with outdoor space and off-street parking. Ideally located near Franklin Park which features golf, walking trails, the Franklin Park Zoo, the Four Corners/Geneva Commuter Rail, and a Boston Public Library
