About This Home

As of December 2013

This welcoming 2 BR, 1.5 BA home enjoys a prime Back Bay location one block from the Public Garden and a few moments walk to the shops of Charles and Newbury. The professionally-managed 6 unit building was completely renovated in the mid-1990's with an eye to reproducing the original architectural detail and preserving the historic character of the property. The south and east corner location provides an unusual degree of light and sun not typically found in a garden unit. The well-maintained unit features attractive woodwork, hardwood floors throughout, built-in bookcase, nice ceiling height, fireplaced living room as well as central air, gas cooking and laundry in unit. Currently leased on a 30 day TAW.
