About this home

Tucked away at the end of a cul de sac sits this unique single-family townhouse designed by the 1980's local legend architects Bell & Fandetti. The open concept main living level incorporates the living, dining, and kitchen featuring cathedral ceilings, two bay windows and glass sliding doors that open onto a deck overlooking an enclosed private backyard. On the first floor, you'll find a light and airy bedroom, plus an office area with glass sliding doors and bay window. There’s a full bath and laundry on this level. The main bedroom is on the top floor along with the newly renovated full bath with tiled walk-in shower. The three-level configuration allows for great separation of space and makes clever use of the square footage. Best of all, this is sited equidistant to both Porter & Davis Squares, minutes to the red line train, commuter rail, acclaimed restaurants, Pemberton Market, and Whole Foods. Offer will be reviewed on Tuesday March 5th, kindly submit by 1pm 3/5
