About this home

Full of warmth & personality, 15A Madison Street #2 is like an old friend you can’t wait to hang out with. Its classic style calms you, and as the building sits proudly on the corner of Madison St. & Holly Ave. on Observatory Hill, it is filled with the most beautiful light. Once a series of small spaces, it has been opened up to allow you to live the way you want to today. The living & dining rooms have been blended into one large, comfortable space grounded by a pretty fireplace and built-in hutch. Instead of being a small box set at the back of the house, the kitchen, with its beautiful blue cabinets, feels vast & connected to the rear deck. Two bedrooms & a pretty bathroom round out the living space; there is a second deck at the front of the house & a fabulous entry hall where you can pause and shed your coat at the end of the day. Fantastically located between Harvard Sq. and Huron Village, 15A Madison Street #2 is ready to take you in and share its warmth & personality with you.
