A versatile loft offers flexible space for a home office, sleeping nook or guest overflow, and leads to a refreshed private roof deck with sweeping Back Bay skyline views. Pet-friendly, well-maintained building with high owner occupancy. A rare opportunity to enjoy exceptional light, privacy, and outdoor space in one of Boston's most desirable neighborhoods, moments from acclaimed restaurants, boutiques, public transit, parks and universities.
