While this two-family home in Dorchester is striking on the outside, the inside is chock full of period details. A hidden gem of sorts, the building boasts ornate wooden mantles, parquet floors, stained glass windows, built-ins, raised paneling, crown molding, and coved ceilings. The entire home has a total of three fireplaces, including one that’ll warm up the outdoor patio. The pink and green carpets might be undesirable (unless you want to maintain the authentic late 60s/early 70s vibe), but the house will be vacant at the time of sale—meaning you can take renovations into your own hands right away.
