About this property

Harborfront Villa, Charming Mix of Contemporary and Turn of the Century Elegance

The Villa at Eastie overlooks the harbor and shipping channels, early morning lobstermen can be seen from the sunroom hauling their traps, as well as the ships coming to port. Plane bugs (id book) will love the spectacular view of Logan Int. Airport. At the end of the street is Constitution Beach. There are kayaks for the adventurous or relax in the fountain garden. Smell the sea breeze and reminisce about the politics that must have been discussed in this former Senators home. Entertain in the formal dining room under the crystal chandelier or relax and read a book on one of the balconies overlooking the harbor. The Blue line (T)(public trans) is only two blocks away and offers a ride to the airport station and free shuttle bus to your terminal, a few more stops and you are downtown for world class shopping, restaurants, museums and the Swan boats ride. Ask about antiquing in the area.

Long Weekend in Boston
Our family loved watching planes take off from the airport and the location to the Orient Heights station was great for accessing the city. Nelson and Madeline were great host and very welcoming.

As advertised, clean, well stocked and nice historical home. It was convenient to the blue line which made it easy to head downtown for exploring.

Lovely Home of an Artist
My family of 7 ranging in ages from 17 to married in their late 20’s went for a long weekend and happened upon this jewel. Nelson, the owner and host, met us and oriented us to his home. He is an artist and his paintings are throughout the home. We found the home clean and comfortable, with picturesque views across the bay of the Logan Airport and the Boston skyline beyond. THAT was what truly impressed us and would likely bring us back and recommend it to others. Convenient walk to the Orient Heights T-stop puts the rest of Boston within easy reach without the need for an automobile. That said, the single space for off-street parking was appreciated. We enjoyed dinner at Vuolo’s an Italian trattoria in nearby Winthrop less than a mile away. Thank you, Nelson, for a truly unique stay!

Lovely Stay
We had a group of me, husband, 2 young kids, and my 2 cousins. A LOT of room. Very comfortable. Great location. Watched planes, boats, 10 min walk to T rail station. House itself was an experience. Very old with lots of history. Felt that the hosts were there if needed but not intrusive.

Great view and very homey!
Everything was wonderful. Top notch. The only thing I would change is to have a shower curtain for the shower. It ended up being fine without one, but could be a shock for some people at first. But even without a shower curtain, I would stay there again! Great old house, full of character, and so fun watching the planes take off and land over the view of the water. Wonderful hosts!

Why they chose this property

We are close to all that Boston has to offer, either by car or public transportation.

What makes this property unique

The sheer size and location on Boston Harbor was one of the most attractive features that lured us to purchase the Villa. It's ease to public transportation connecting all the city has to offer without the need of a car, was a real game changer. The view from the sun porch and in the summer months having a glass of wine on the upper balcony is delightful while watching the planes come and go. It is similar to an orchestrated symphony.
