Dodge Street is a small side street off of Western Avenue near the Charles River. This two-family conversion is notable for its 9′ ceilings, Brazilian cherry floors and interior trim work. The developer gave each unit owner its own exclusive use yard space. The two-car tandem parking was given to the larger and more expensive on the second and third floors.

A restored 1838 Greek Revival. Three townhomes. Picture-perfect from sidewalk. An appealing aspect of this address is its slight elevation from Magazine Street, which is fortunate to have telophone lines buried underground rather than up on poles. It’s nice, too, that the developer landscaped the property so well. Bathroom finishes especially nice here. It’s too bad the second bedrooms could not be a wee bit bigger. Finished lower levels make up for this to some extent.
