A glass slider leading to a private open-air deck extends your living space, while a versatile bonus room makes an ideal home office or nursery. Enjoy ample basement storage and additional private attic space, all in a pet-friendly building with a strong, low-fee association. Live in one of the North Shore's most vibrant and famed cities — a quick train ride to Boston without Boston prices.
