About this home
Set on a sleepy one-way street, this handsome David Aposhian-designed condo is nestled among a canopy of mature trees. Airy and inviting, the modern layout favors warmth and togetherness, with abundant windows casting sun-dappled light on hardwood floors. The flow is intuitive: living room, dining room, and kitchen move naturally past a versatile library/study toward bedrooms tucked quietly in back. The heart of the home is the kitchen - built for refined cooking and easy entertaining alike. The primary suite is a genuine retreat, with cathedral ceilings, new skylights, a spacious walk-in closet, and room to breathe. Out back: a generous private yard, patio, and exclusive storage shed. In-unit laundry and off-street parking add everyday ease. Several parks, playgrounds, and top restaurants are just a short stroll away. Central, Inman and Kendall squares are all close at hand.
