About this home

Riverside - Set in a 4-unit Victorian building, this upper 2-story gut renovated condo unfolds as a curated retreat with access to a shared park-like yard with mature plantings, open lawn, ideal to entertain. Reimagined by an interior designer with a coastal sensibility, the home blends timeless design with refined detail—antique pine floors, crown moldings and 9' high ceilings. A gallery hallway—evoking classic Parisian apartments—connects 3 bedrooms, a separate office, and a designer's bath. The primary suite sits high among the trees with a massive rooftop deck, w-i closet, many skylights and a bespoke bath. The south-facing kitchen offers a bistro feel with Café appliances, floor to ceiling tiles, and space to dine. A front bay-windowed living room is generous, sunlit, and effortlessly comfortable. Unbeatable location just one block to the Charles River and ~10 minutes to Central & Harvard Squares. EV Parking. A design-driven home with outstanding outdoor spaces in prime location!
