About this home
One of Dorchester’s most striking homes, 4 Payne Street offers a fresh, architectural take on city living. Tucked beside a quiet, leafy park at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac at the base of Pope’s Hill, these modern residences blend clean lines with warmth and function. This duplex features a private entry, two decks off the main level, custom built-ins and a sunlit glass-framed study perfect for working or creating. Upstairs, 17’ cathedral ceilings make the bedrooms feel expansive, and the primary suite features a spa-like bath and a next-level walk-in closet. Wide-plank white oak floors in a soft matte finish bring a natural, modern feel throughout. The kitchen shines with paneled Fisher & Paykel appliances, mitered Calacatta Gold waterfall counters and sleek custom millwork. With garage parking, central air, pet-friendly living and proximity to I-93, downtown, McGonagle’s, Adams Village and Dorchester’s beaches, this home nails city style, comfort and connection.
