About this home

Welcome to this quintessential Back Bay home above the blossoming trees in Boston's most prestigious neighborhood. Soaring ceilings and tall windows add to the magic of the front facing living room. Plaster moldings and custom built-in's decorate the oversized living room that is complete with an ornamental fireplace. There is space for a dining table in the bay window overlooking Beacon Street and the kitchen is open to all of this wonderful entertaining space. A granite breakfast bar offers a casual place to dine or drink and a large pantry affords incredible storage. The primary bedroom also has a decorative fireplace with a large step-in closet and the same charming high ceilings. The second bedroom can accommodate a queen sized bed and a desk too. There is a large, in-unit washer / dryer and updated custom windows throughout the property. The common areas of this boutique brownstone have been recently upgraded with new paint and carpet.
