About this home
In a picturesque brownstone building, on the East Side of South Boston, this penthouse level two bedroom apartment overlooks the beloved Medal of Honor Park! Featuring tall ceilings, and just under 1,000SF of living space, the flow of the home maximizes space in every room. The blend of classic old Boston charm with new renovations to make this place feel like home! The kitchen has a large center island with generous storage space and opens to the breakfast nook that has great views of downtown Boston! The two similarly sized bedrooms are separated from each other and a giant loft space is perfect for an office or additional storage/sleeping area. With a private roof deck, laundry in-unit and views from every window, this is a must see.
