About this home
Located in the historic South End on a tree-lined street in an 1860's brick bow-front rowhouse, this penthouse duplex is bright and sunny. The entire unit has been freshly painted and brand new stainless steel appliances have just been installed. On the first level, a foyer with coat closet opens to the living room, which features bow windows, a decorative marble fireplace, and built-in display/book shelves. The kitchen features gas cooking, granite counters, a breakfast bar, and ample cabinets. The dining room has two large windows and hardwood floors. There is a full tile bathroom off the kitchen. On the upper level are three bedrooms, all with hardwood floors, a tile bathroom with a large shower stall, and a laundry closet with side-by-side washer/dryer. A set of stairs leads to a large private roof deck with city views. East Brookline Street is convenient to the Silver Line and the BU Medical Campus. A full deeded parking spot directly behind the building completes the package.
