About this home
Sophisticated and customized 2018 new construction with an open layout, soaring ceilings re-imagined within a Victorian brownstone to fit today’s lifestyle. West-facing wall has floor to ceiling windows to let in afternoon sun and views. Custom kitchen designed in monochromatic tones, brass hardware and Wolf and Miele appliances opens to the living and dining area and a large private balcony. Living room is anchored by a contemporary gas fireplace. Down the hall is a full guest bath with soaking tub and clean, modern finishes. Master bedroom is located in the bowed front of the brownstone with two oversized historic windows, a walk-in closet and en-suite bath complete with an oversized shower with frameless glass door, double vanity and high-end fixtures and finishes. Second bedroom is bright with views of Back Bay. In-unit laundry, only one flight up in building, and nearby some of South End's best restaurants and shops. One rental parking is secured and can be added.
