About this home
Welcome to this charming, renovated turn of the century townhouse on Boston's historic Beacon Hill.

The chef's kitchen is furnished with professional stainless steel appliances, granite counter tops, custom cabinets and a large dining area. A private courtyard and patio is just outside. The second story office lends you a lofted view of Joy Street. The fourth floor master suite features exposed brick walls, vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, skylight and wet bar. Large windows throughout capture warmth and sunlight. Numerous up to date renovations include central air, upgraded electrical and heating systems, recessed lighting, hardwood floors, renovated bathrooms, potential au pair suite in the finished basement, and a private second story roof top deck.
