About this home

This dramatically proportioned home is located in the former Rice School (c. 1869); a stunning French Second Empire-style building situated on one of Boston’s beautiful tree-lined streets. This 5th floor 1+ bedroom unit in an elevator building has hardwood floors, fireplace, central air, in-unit washer/dryer and an abundance of custom built in storage. Newly renovated chef's kitchen with stone counters and stainless steel appliances. The light filled master bedroom features custom California closets. The large versatile lofted area, currently being used as an office/guest room features a wall of shelves and storage. Ideally situated on the Back Bay / South End line, this home is a short distance to Copley Place / Prudential shops, some of the best restaurants in both neighborhoods, and the MBTA. Second "bedroom" is an open loft above the main floor.
