Set on a side street near vibrant Union Square, Gilman Square GLX, and the community bike path, this 1874 mansard gem underwent a remarkable transformation in 2015, winning a Historic Preservation Award in the process. The handsome period architectural detail of the exterior is expertly matched by the thoughtfulness in the 1st floor’s owner’s unit: tasteful finishes throughout, airy 11’ ceilings, windows galore; and the not so sexy, like high-density insulation, Cat6 Ethernet, and double-drywalled ceilings for sound isolation. Upstairs, with 4 beds, 2 baths, and over 2,100 SF of living space on two levels, unit 2 offers an opportunity to be reimagined. The backyard with its mature plantings is an urban oasis, while the Azores grape vine trellis not only shelters your vehicles from the elements, but also makes great jam + wine! Originally a single family, 55 Putnam could easily be converted back to one. Come experience timeless elegance, versatility of use, and exceptional location firsthand!

Ever wonder where the best artisan doughnuts, breakfast sandwiches, and chocolate in town are crafted? Where the most rarified coffee beans are painstakingly roasted and brewed? Where the hard-cider makers and art framers hang out? Where you can find a suitable Biergarten in which to daydream about The Grand Budapest Hotel? Welcome to Union Square, the Brooklyn of Boston. If you want to know where it’s all happening right now, look no further than this busy, commercial square—which still retains some of its original Latin grills and Irish pubs amidst the many new outcroppings of global hipster design aesthetics—nestled in the vale below a hill crowded with woody Victorians. And what’s more, now you can ride the Green Line over here, not just your fixie.
