About this home

Experience quintessential South End living in this refined parlor-level residence, situated in the coveted Eight Streets neighborhood just steps from Ringgold Park. This sun-drenched floor-through home is defined by its dramatic ceiling height and oversized windows, creating a gracious sense of scale rarely found in one-bedroom layouts. The open-concept living area features a chef-inspired kitchen with updated appliances, a dedicated dining area, and a stately decorative fireplace. The king-sized bedroom serves as a private sanctuary, anchored by a second fireplace and flanked by bespoke custom built-ins. Complete with a modern bath, in-unit laundry, and the invaluable addition of conveying deck rights, this home is a rare find near the city’s premier dining and boutiques.
