About this home
Upper East Side NYC glamour meets riverside Beacon views in this gracious and stunning nearly 1,000 sq ft home with glorious river views and parking! Greet your guests in style in the large foyer (big enough to use for home office). Head to the expansive living room with its wall of custom built ins and lovely decorative fireplace. A moment later you'll be drawn to the huge triple windows with gorgeous views of the Esplanade, Charles River, and Cambridge beyond. The view and sense of space only magnified by the dramatic ceiling height. The view continues even from the recently renovated fully equipped kitchen featuring the latest in induction cooking, massive amounts of counter space, and handy breakfast bar. Lux renovated bathroom and equally gorgeous main bedroom do not disappoint and neither does the wall of built-out closets. Enjoy skyline views from the common roof deck and maybe rarest of all, your own individual parking space right out back! All in the heart of Back Bay! No pets
