Historical Homes
At the corner of Meredith Street in the historic Highland district of West Roxbury, Massachusetts, stands a Queen Anne jewel that has quietly witnessed over a century of change. Built in 1900 and lovingly cared for by just two families over 63 years, this home embodies the enduring charm and craftsmanship of Victorian-era design.
From the moment you approach, the home’s character makes an impression. An expansive wraparound porch greets visitors, while the structure’s ornate trim and gables reflect the romantic spirit of the Queen Anne style.
Inside, the craftsmanship of the era is on full display. Rich wainscoting and intricate crown molding frame a grand, oversized foyer. Pocket doors offer both elegance and flexibility between the front living room and formal dining room, the latter boasting a period fireplace and a walk-in china closet with original built-ins—a rare and thoughtful touch.
The home’s generous layout spans three floors, with six spacious bedrooms, a sunny upper-level den or study, and three baths. Throughout, the architectural integrity has been carefully preserved, allowing original features to coexist beautifully with functional updates.
Located within walking distance of Centre Street and just minutes from two MBTA Needham Line commuter rail stops, the home combines the tranquility of a heritage neighborhood with the convenience of city access.
1 Meredith Street is not merely a house—it’s a living piece of West Roxbury’s history, a testament to enduring design and careful stewardship.
