About this home

Wonderful opportunity to own a Central Square brownstone listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Soaring ceilings, expansive windows, decorative fireplace, and gleaming wood floors are just some of what you'll find when you enter this second floor unit. The kitchen, complete with SS app, wood cabinets, & granite counters flows into the dramatic open living/dining room offering large windows, giving this corner unit a larger feel than the stated square footage. The primary bedroom is generous in size with ample closet space. Updated bathroom (2022) with enclosed washer/dryer. The second bedroom offers direct access to an expansive private deck that is perfect for outdoor entertaining. Minisplit A/C units round out this move-in ready condo within walking distance to Whole foods and all other amenities that Central Square has to offer. Pictures reflect virtual staged rooms.
