2036 Collingwood Street

A totally renovated interior with a century of character, this 1921 two-story sits just north of the Boston-Edison Historic District. Step through the oval glass front door into a living room washed in light from a bay of five windows, with a carved mantel and painted brick fireplace, brass sconces and refinished hardwood floors. The dining room is dressed in picture-frame wainscoting under a brass chandelier and opens to a sunroom with windows on two sides. The kitchen is all new: white shaker cabinets, quartz counters, matte black hardware and faucet, stainless dishwasher and recessed lighting, with a slider out to the back deck. Upstairs are three bedrooms and two full baths. The main bath has a teal furniture-style vanity with a quartz top, a subway tile walk-in shower with a hex mosaic floor and a private water closet. The second has a tub and shower and a wood vanity with a marble-look top. One bedroom opens onto its own balcony overlooking the backyard. The basement adds a half bath, laundry hookups and room to grow. Outside, a new roof and a new concrete driveway and walkway finish the picture. Boston-Edison is the 900-home district where Henry Ford and Berry Gordy once lived. Its tree-lined boulevards are a short walk away. The Durfee Innovation Society, a former school turned community hub with more than 35 organizations, an indoor pool and an arcade, is just down Collingwood. New Center, Midtown and downtown are a quick drive.
