Located adjacent to Boston’s botanic gem, the renowned Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University, Victorian Meadows’ five (5) units encompass two renovated single family homes and a new 3-unit condominium building. The conversion of the carriage house was particularly challenging due to the neglect it suffered over many years. The structure was formerly used to house restaurant salvage items and the 2nd floor had collapsed under the weight of thousands of dishes, cups & saucers. Much of the beautiful old-growth wood from the horse-stall floors was salvaged and milled into furniture, stair parts and other woodwork. The main house, a Second Empire Victorian, was purchased by an owner who managed its renovation. All the project owners continue to enjoy the delights of the Arboretum and an easy commute into Boston.
