About this home
INCREDIBLE BUY. Extremely open, sun-drenched floor plan. This brownstone front-to-back flat has all of the South End's charms while set on the corner of Shawmut and Worcester Street. This 2-bed unit boasts contemporary functionality while maintaining some rich features like brick walls, hardwood floors, tall ceilings, and original moldings. Feels much more like 1,000 SF with the bulk of the size in the living space. Additional upsides include all new windows in 2019, updated bathroom, heat and water included in low HOA fee, healthy building reserve in place, mostly owner-occupied HOA, Bosch gas stove and dishwasher, bicycle parking onsite and newer mechanicals. BONUS - approvals in place to construct a large private deck directly off of the living room for $15,300. Many opportunities to include additional storage in unit. A washer and dryer located downstairs but opportunity exists to add within the unit. COME SEE FOR YOURSELF.
