About This Home

As of September 2024

This sun-drenched, tastefully renovated 2-bedroom condo with parking is a rare opportunity, being offered for the first time in over 30 years! Perched on the second floor (just one flight up!), the condo boasts stunning Comm Ave views and boasts a bright, open layout thanks to big windows. The recently updated kitchen features modern conveniences like wood cabinets, stone counters, a dishwasher, and built-in microwave. The bathroom, also renovated, features a walk-in shower with a touch of history in the exposed brick. Entertain in style with the large living room, accented by high ceilings and a charming decorative fireplace. Investors will appreciate the potential to convert the living room to a third bedroom, maximizing rental income as well as storage in basement. The location is unbeatable – steps from the Harvard Ave Green Line station as well as the 66 Bus with easy access to Downtown Boston, BU, Brookline, and Longwood Medical Area. First showing at OH Sat & Sun from 12:00-1:30
