"Move here and your most important neighbor dates back to the ice age - give or take a few thousand years. This Italianate style home sits on an 16,200-square-foot lot that backs up to the Charles River, which was formed from glaciers ages ago. Today, it can be accessed from the house at 85 Crescent St. in Waltham via a private dock for kayaking and fishing or simply sitting in a chair to contemplate."
"To the right is the 210-square-foot den with a six-over-six window on the front exterior wall that is nearly floor to ceiling. On the second exterior wall, there is a smaller double-hung window, also six-by-six in design. A modern fan/light combination hangs from a plaster medallion in the center of the ceiling and there is broad crown molding. The room has a nonfunctioning fireplace with a marble mantle along with shelving."
