About this home

Welcome home to this beautifully renovated one-bedroom in the heart of the South End. Enter through your own gated private patio and private entrance into a bright, front-facing home filled with natural light from large windows and transom accents. Soaring ceilings, recessed lighting, and a new ceiling fan add to the airy feel throughout. The fully renovated kitchen is a showstopper, featuring a new stainless LG range, microwave, and refrigerator, white shaker cabinetry with black hardware, light granite counters with an undermount sink, and a striking new tile backsplash. Gleaming refinished hardwood floors flow throughout. The brand-new, quartz-lined bath offers a spa-like retreat with a frameless glass shower enclosure, contemporary vanity, and illuminated mirror. The spacious bedroom includes a large closet with a stylish barn-style door. Wi-Fi-enabled heating adds modern convenience. Enjoy low condo fees in a professionally managed building. Pets are welcome!
