A spiral staircase leads to the second floor, where you will find a newly remodeled bathroom that also includes your in-unit laundry, an oversized lofted bedroom, and redesigned closets with custom built-ins. This amazing building is located on the famous Commonwealth Avenue and is just steps from Copley Square, Newbury Street, the Charles River Esplanade, and major transit options.
