About This Home

As of August 2022

OFFER ACCEPTED, OH CANCELLED. On a sun-dappled side street, a loft-like 2 bed designed by architect David Aposhian in The Port, strikes a well-considered balance btw open, flexible floor plan & defined spaces. From the front threshold, pass between the open kitchen, LR & DR to the right & a library/study to the left with bedrooms, laundry & bath beyond that. Leafy views evoke a treetop feel & high ceilings enhance the overall spaciousness. The U-shaped kitchen offers substantial cabinet & counter space, ideal for entertaining. Built-in bookcases line the library & segue into the privacy at the back of the unit. Skylights line the cathedral ceilings, illuminating the spacious primary bedroom w/ natural light. A double vanity bath offers a private entrance from the bedroom & a guest entrance. Down the back staircase, a generous private backyard & patio offers an outdoor urban oasis. Leave the car in the deeded spot & head to any nearby square - Central, Inman, Kendall, Harvard or Union.
