A choice of master bedrooms with the top-level providing rooftop views of the Peabody Essex Museum's glass atrium and amazing sunsets! Discerning buyers will value the sophistication and attention paid to every detail of this very well maintained home. The property's large courtyard is a hidden gem . Deeded parking is included. Walk to everything from this ideal location; just steps to the museum, restaurants, waterfront, coffee shops, train to Boston and more! Newer heating system & central air.
