About this home

Rare opportunity to purchase a spacious, renovated 2 bedroom PLUS den with over sized bathroom 1 block from Boston Medical Center. Kitchen fully renovated in 2015 and features new (2018) Kitchen aide appliances, granite counters, stainless tub dishwasher, disposal, full size fridge and great counter space. Enjoy an easterly view of Boston and mass ave off your living room. Large dinning room or office located right of living room. New LED recess lighting through out the common areas. Brand new full sized vented stack-able washer dryer combo in unit. Large bathroom features double vanity and 3 x 5 walk in shower featuring Grohe fixtures. Both bedrooms located on the backside of the unit to avoid noise off Mass ave. The pending development of the Hotel Alexander just down the block and the dozens of new projects from Melnea Cass to Albany Street promises to continue the neighborhood betterment and make this an exciting long term investment.
