About this home

A dramatic, to-the-studs renovation has just been completed for this elegant, light-filled 2 bed/1 bath corner unit with sweeping Back Bay views from every oversized window. Everything is new – heating, plumbing, and electric systems, oak flooring, insulated wood framed windows, crown molding and recessed LED lighting throughout. The redesigned kitchen is open to the living area’s huge west-facing bay and has all new soft-close walnut cabinetry, quartz counters, high-end stainless appliances and gas cooking. The updated bath has Kohler fixtures, glazed porcelain flooring and a deep soaking tub with glass subway tile surround. This sparkling turnkey property is 6 floors up in an historic, elevator building that has just undergone a $6 million renovation. It is professionally managed and pet friendly. Live in the heart of the city with the Charles River Esplanade and Newbury Street’s shops and restaurants virtually at your doorstep.
