About this home
Available for the first time since the mid 1970's. Located in the heart of Beacon Hill, 27 Chestnut Street is one of the most iconic buildings offered in the city. It was formerly a church, which is evident from the outside structure. There is an open two-story living room with soaring ceilings, custom woodwork and a large floor to ceiling window providing an abundance of natural light and city views. Additionally, there is a dining area that leads to an adjoining kitchen. The master bedroom suite completes the main level. The second floor offers a second bedroom with access to a balcony, office that overlooks the living room, full bathroom with laundry and a large study with vaulted ceiling. A spectacular common roof deck with panoramic views, common courtyard, private storage in the basement and live-in superintendent!
