The residence

Modern parlor-level one-bedroom in a classic South End brownstone with soaring 11.5-foot ceilings and serene private deck. Centrally located on the Back Bay/South End border, this home is filled with natural light from oversized south-facing windows and boasts beautiful hardwood floors throughout. The lofted queen-size bedroom offers a versatile office/den layout that lives larger than its footprint. The kitchen features dark stone countertops, stainless steel appliances including 5-burner gas stove and ample cabinetry. The back door opens to an expansive 180+ sqft private deck, a true extension of the living space, ideal for entertaining, outdoor dining or a quiet morning coffee. In-unit W/D, central air, keyless entry and an interactive shower spa complete the home. Pet friendly, professionally managed building with easy access to Back Bay Station, The Pru, and Copley Square.

Boston, MA.

Boston keeps its history in plain sight — brick, granite and gaslight along streets laid down long before the grid. Life here runs on short distances: the harbour, the Common, the theatre district and the river all within a walk of one another.
