Over five years, the pair gathered furnishings, art, and antiques to shape an inviting ode to the past-snug and soulful, sentimental and nature-filled, with earthy colors offset by bold, saturated moments of Americana.

America's quilt work of states whose governors and lawmakers are bucking for housing policy change to break through supply constraints at the root of the nation's affordability crisis now counts Massachusetts among them. With a focus on prohibitively constrictive building codes and zoning ordinances, Gov. Maura Healey has adopted an approach officials in other states and cities have taken before pulling the legislative trigger study the matter for a year or more before drafting a reform policy agenda.

"While bringing a lawsuit is never my first choice, courts have consistently ruled that compliance with this law is mandatory, and the urgency of our housing shortage compels me to act to ensure that all MBTA Communities meet their legal responsibilities.

Originally known as the Charles Davis House, the colorful Newton Center home was constructed in the Second Empire style in 1860 by Davis, a well-to-do chemical manufacturer in Boston, according to historic documents. It later served as a nursing home before returning to a single-family dwelling. About 20 years ago, an architect purchased the home and transformed it for himself into a six-bedroom, eight-and-a-half-bathroom home that exudes vibrant color and historic features that effortlessly blend with modern amenities.
