A rare find in Lower Allston. This 5+ bed, 3 bath Colonial offers over 2,000sf of living space across three levels. Sited on a generous lot with a fenced-in yard, front porch, back deck, and patio, it delivers outdoor space rarely seen in the city. Inside, the home features four bedrooms plus an office, two baths, and a kitchen; while a first-floor suite with its own bath and kitchenette creates endless possibilities — au-pair or in-law space, guest suite, or a pied-à-terre for the traveling scholar. With a two-car driveway and easy access to Trader Joe’s, Cambridge, and downtown Boston, the lifestyle is as practical as it is appealing. Steps to the Hooker-Sorrento playground and Allston Library, behind Harvard’s new Science and Engineering Complex, and near Harvard’s Innovation Lab and Business School, this home blends neighborhood charm with opportunity — whether for multi-generational living, investment, or simply spreading out with room to grow. Property rented through August 2026.
