About this home
Gorgeous second-floor 2-bedroom in one of Charlestown's best locations — a rare blend of old-school charm and modern updates that's hard to find in this market. Exposed brick, hardwood floors throughout, and great natural light give the apartment real warmth and character, while granite counters in the kitchen and a granite vanity in the bath bring it fully up to date. Genuinely spacious floor-plan, with separate living and dining areas that let you actually use each room for what it's meant for, rather than squeezing everything into one open space. Two very good-sized bedrooms, one a bit larger but both fit queen or king beds. Between the tall ceilings, hardwood floors, and abundant light, the whole unit has an airy, put-together feel from room to room. Practical perks round things out nicely: shared laundry is available on the lower level, so no laundromat runs required, and parking — often the toughest part of city living — is easy here, with access to the school lot next door during off-school hours. Pet friendly! The location is classic Charlestown at its finest — close to neighborhood coffee shops, restaurants, and boutique fitness studios, close to the Freedom Trail and the Navy Yard, with easy access to downtown Boston, the Seaport, and beyond. It's a neighborhood that balances historic character with a genuinely vibrant day-to-day life. Apartments like this don't sit long — schedule your showing today before it's gone!
