The West Roxbury homeowner  who asked not be named, said she lived in 112 Beech Street for 25 years before it caught on fire on Friday morning.

"I loved the home because of all the great wood-work and I had big plans for redoing it next year," she said.

A two-alarm fire broke out Friday morning in the attic, according to the Boston Fire Department’s Twitter Page.
