This house at 786 Putnam Avenue is a real charmer. Tons of original detail, including some beautiful parquet floors and a killer staircase.

CGar, you see that green stuff on the stoop too??? I can’t figure out exactly what it is. The rest of the facade looks really nice.
Nice lightfixture in that room.

check the color settings on your monitor…I don’t see any green. But right, that faux blue reminds of the work some unnamed artist that would put a curbcut and garage in historic home/block might dream up.
