A longtime Charlestown
resident, Nancy Kueny has enjoyed both living and working in the
Greater Boston area. Her attention to detail and deep appreciation
of beautiful buildings allows for great success in listing,
selling, and renting real estate in the area especially in her own
historic Charlestown neighborhood. This has allowed Nancy to enjoy
over 20 years in the business. Read more about Nancy Keuny in our
agent spotlight feature here.
Nancys professional background began in the world of art and
design. Before joining the real estate industry, Nancy devoted her
skill and talent to jewelry design. However, when it was time for a
career change, her keen eye for aesthetics and love of buildings
evolved effortlessly into the craft of buying and selling homes. A
gifted and passionate artist, she brings immaculate style to her
work in real estate.
All art and design is related, she says, of the influence of her
unique artistic background. This special awareness of the bridge
between the arts allows Nancy to jibe with other art-minded
professionals and potential clients. This is especially true in her
beloved Charlestown. The oldest neighborhood in Boston, Charlestown
is made whole by its historic buildings.
These historic buildings have a special draw for Nancy and her
husband, Allan Kueny, who themselves live in a Federal home built
in 1806. Though many know of the
Bunker Hill Monument, and USS Constitution
Museum, Nancy sees beyond these prominent monuments to find
special meaning in the ordinary. From red brick beauties to early
19th century clapboarded workers cottages, the homes in Charlestown
hold an extraordinary splendor unlike those of any other area in
Boston. The Kuenys know and appreciate this fact, and dedicate much
of their time the preservation and promotion of historic
treasures.
A past president and trustee of the Charlestown Preservation
Society, Nancy actively works to initiate positive change in
the community. CPS is an organization founded in 1967 to preserve
Charlestowns historic buildings in light of Boston urban renewal
planning. Its efforts helped to save the post-Revolutionary houses
of Thompson Triangle, among many others. The organizations mission
is to preserve Charlestown’s historic character by protecting our
historic architecture and landscapes, advocating for preservation,
guiding responsible development and educating people about the
unique character of our community.
Nancy is also a trustee of The Friends of City Square
Park, an organization with one simple goal: create more green
space in Charlestown. The organizations dream was realized in 1996,
with the establishment of City Square Park.
This organization is dedicated to promoting awareness of the
unique history of this centuries old space, as well as making sure
the park remains in pristine condition with the support of the
Department of Conservation and Recreation, Nancy says of the
Friends. It also puts on a variety of annual events, several of
which, Gibson Sothebys International Realty is a sponsor. This
upcoming July, GSIR will sponsor a jazz concert for the
organization.
Stylish Tangerino
Brasserie is one of Nancys favorite restaurants in town, along with
Navy Yard Bistro and
of course, Warren
Tavern. This ideal blend of old and new, Nancy says, is what
makes Charlestown such a special place to live and work.
