About this home

Captivating two-bedroom condo with spacious floor plan and high ceilings. You will find this ornate living room is spacious and features built-in shelves, a fireplace, and recently refinished hardwood floors. Four bay windows and newly installed recessed lighting illuminate the living space, giving it a light and airy feeling. The modern kitchen has new floors, resurfaced cabinets, and stainless steel appliances. The gem can be found on the 5th floor of a charming Boston Brownstone, which has an elevator and laundry appliances on-site. A key feature is that the building will be installing a new, modernized elevator, which is due to be completed in 2026. One of the best features of this property is its location! Centrally located between Back Bay and Longwood Medical, it is in close proximity to public transportation (C& D lines), highways, restaurants, shops, universities, and even Fenway Park!
