About this home

Bright and airy, this top-floor condominium is in a 21-unit professionally managed complex just off Beacon Street and around the corner from Whole Foods. The renovated kitchen with stone counters and a striking vent hood is open to the dining/living room, with a pair of southwest-facing windows for great afternoon light. Each bedroom is large and well-lit, with good closet space and hardwood floors. One bedroom contains a delightful nook perfect for a home office or study desk, while another room could serve as a private office or a guest bedroom. The tiled bathroom features a vessel sink vanity. There's an in-unit washer and dryer, intercom system, private basement storage area, and an assigned parking space. Heat and hot water are included in the monthly fee. The location is excellent: Harvard, Inman, and Union Squares are nearby, and Walk Score rates the location a walker's and biker's paradise. A perfect place to live or a terrific investment property!
