This year’s holiday card features Regina Pizzeria, a Boston landmark that has welcomed neighbors and newcomers since 1926 at its original location at 11 1/2 Thatcher Street.  If you haven't been, it is worth the line for the experience!  It is more than a beloved slice of the North End. It is the place where Denise and her father shared one of their happiest afternoons together.
  On a hot summer day, they sat in this very spot with a crisp pitcher of Coors Light and a brick oven pizza that came out bubbling and perfect. He rarely ate out, yet he talked about that day often, always with a smile that carried a quiet pride. He loved Boston’s North End, its narrow streets, Paul Revere’s House, and the Old North Church where lanterns once signaled a turning point in our history nearly 250 years ago.
  This card was created in May as Denise and her family prepared to lay her father to rest in Minnesota. It stands as a tribute to his stories, his laughter, and the steady light he brought to her life.
  Hold the card up to the glow of a small light and let it illuminate the windows. Remember that it is the small moments, shared over pizza or laughter or a walk through old streets, that become the threads that hold our lives together.
  The Regina Pizzeria card is the second piece in the New England Lantern Series. The first design, released in 2024, featured 78 Beacon Street, the stunning brownstone with double bay windows and festive greenery along The Public Garden. Set side by side, the two cards begin a growing village of New England landmarks. Each one folds flat for safekeeping and comes to life when placed on a branch, a tablescape, or above a flameless tealight. Over the years, we hope these lanterns will gather into a tiny landscape of places that carry the spirit of New England. 

​Missing a year? Email or text us, we have a few extras and we will pop one in the mail! 

  Ideas for next year’s design are always welcome! Denise periodically works throughout the year on the project.  If you would like to share your thoughts, you can join the short survey below and help shape the next lantern in the series.

  At the meeting of Cross Street and Broadway stands a classic East Somerville two-family that represents what every investor and homeowner looks for: a solid property with room to equity imporovement. 4 Cross Street is an end-unit rowhouse with strong bones and appealing details like exposed brick, hardwood floors, and two private decks. Both units are vacant and ready for the next owner to refresh and make their own.

  The first-floor apartment offers two bedrooms, a full bath, and direct access to a rear deck. The upper duplex includes three and a half bedrooms, two baths, and an open layout with a deck off the kitchen. The basement is clean, high-ceilinged, and ready for storage or a workshop. With separate utilities, updated electrical, and gas systems in place, the structure is practical and sound.

  Step outside and you’re surrounded by the best of East Somerville: a French bakery just around the corner, diverse restaurants along Broadway, and the energy of the East Somerville Main Streets initiative bringing new life and creativity to the area. With quick access to Assembly Row, downtown Boston, and public transit, this property sits right at the intersection of convenience and potential.
​
  4 Cross Street isn’t a flip or a fantasy. It’s a real opportunity for someone ready to put in thoughtful updates and build long-term value in one of the most promising corners of Somerville.

Our clients came to us with a clear vision: an elevator building that offered the quintessential Boston feel and a timeless address. After working closely together to understand what mattered most, we are thrilled to share that we found it. The right home, discovered with the right guidance, makes all the difference

Built in 1896 as The Marlborough, this landmark building has long been one of Back Bay’s most sought-after addresses. With concierge services, a beautifully renovated lobby, and a rooftop deck that captures sweeping views of the Charles River and skyline, it blends historic character with modern amenities.​

No matter the location, it is the experience that matters, and we are the right team to deliver it.

A Love Letter to 65 Blake Road
At the corner of Blake Road and the quiet Boulder Road cul-de-sac, tucked in the heart of Lexington Manor, sits a home that doesn’t just provide shelter,  it tells a story.

This is 65 Blake Road, a Colonial Revival built in 1942, and lovingly expanded since. It's a home that holds onto its heritage while embracing the rhythm of modern life. The kind of place where you feel something as you cross the threshold — a quiet pride, a sense of continuity, the unmistakable warmth of careful craftsmanship.
Outside, a bluestone path winds through perennial beds that bloom in gentle waves. Over the garage, a hand-cut shingle of Captain Parker, Lexington’s Revolutionary hero, keeps quiet watch. And hidden in the stair newel post? A 1942 Liberty Half Dollar,  a silver coin marking the home’s beginnings and its enduring spirit.

Inside, the original charm lives on. Sunlight moves across hardwood floors, warming each room. The dining room’s built-in hutch glows with age and memory. The living room offers space to gather, with a wood-burning fireplace at its heart. A sunroom invites quiet reading or morning coffee. A cheerful powder room welcomes guests.

And then, a transformation. A thoughtful addition at the rear of the home expands the living space into something truly special. The kitchen is generous, filled with cherry built-ins, radiant floors, a Wolf 6-burner range, a wine cooler, and room for everyone to linger. It’s the kind of space where dinners stretch long and laughter fills the air.
Upstairs, the vaulted primary suite offers calm, with two walk-in closets and a spa-like bath. Three additional bedrooms, each with character, light, and warmth,  share a full bath and thoughtful built-ins.  Downstairs, the finished basement opens up even more possibility: a game room, movie nights, a second kitchenette, and even a private entrance via a spiral stair.  Out back, there’s charm and function in equal measure: a fenced yard perfect for pets, a cozy fire pit, a sweet garden shed tucked in the corner. All supported by carefully updated systems — three heating zones, central AC, Ring cameras, and wired safety features.

What makes Blake Road truly special isn’t just the features, it’s the feeling. The sense that every corner has been cared for, that this house has been lived in with love.
​
From the Liberty coin to the garden gate, 65 Blake Road is more than a home. It’s a legacy. And it's ready to begin its next chapter with someone new.

One of our past clients had a cherished family home in another state but wanted to invest closer to home and defer taxes from the sale. With our expertise and network, we found them the perfect investment property in an area that will see steady appreciation. They sold the home and completed a 1031 tax-deferred exchange, securing a manageable asset they could easily oversee. Now, they’re enjoying the financial rewards from their new investment and staying connected to the community they know well.
​Would you like to know more about investment properties and/or have a property that could be exchanged in a tax-deferred way? We can help. Call to chat, we’re happy to help!

Walking through the front door, the glistening of the river current upon the Charles River first catches your eye and draws you directly to the window like magnetism.  The ripples immediately have a calming effect on your eye, then lifts your mood.  The bright sails of the boats drift by, the gliding kayaks paddle around the moored boats.  Lifting your gaze you’re struck by the graceful expanse of the newly restored Longfellow Bridge as the Red Line train moves steadily to and fro from the MGH stop to the Kendall Square stop.  Further in the distance the gold dome of the Massachusetts State House draws your attention to the full, unobstructed view of the downtown Boston skyline.  Simply stated:  This view is nothing less than INSPIRING.
