Cute house close to plenty of dining

This house is in a great location and within walking distance of a grocery store and a lot of dining options. The area is cute and the house is well maintained with plenty of room for 6 people. Downtown Boston is about 30 minutes away (depending on traffic) which was quite convenient. Would stay here again.
