About this home

Front-facing studio on the sunny side of iconic Commonwealth Avenue, featuring high ceilings and very large bay windows overlooking the Commonwealth Avenue Mall and trees. A recessed area provides space to partially tuck away a bed while preserving more of the main living area. A brick accent wall and original oversized fireplace mantel with ornate wood detailing add architectural character. The kitchen includes a four-burner gas stove, refrigerator/freezer, room for a table and a ceiling fan with light. Two closets provide excellent storage, including one that could serve as a pantry and another deep closet. Full tiled bathroom with tub. Easy access from the building lobby without any stairs. Ideally situated in a prime Back Bay location just off Gloucester Street.
