About This Home

This renovated & oversized garden studio is in a fantastic Back Bay location in a very well maintained, professionally managed, traditional style Back Bay building. This 704 sq foot studio was overhauled with refinished hardwood floors, updated electric panel, newly installed AC mini split, new recessed lighting and updated light fixtures, new gas cooking, brand new dishwasher, newly installed disposal, & brand new tiled kitchen floor, cabinets, & overhang bar with seating that was opened up to the living area. The fireplace has a gas insert, but could be potentially used as a wood burning fireplace (Ask agent for details). The bathroom has been remodeled with new counters, new floors, & gorgeous new wall tiles. To top it off there is private outdoor space, and the laundry is located just outside of the unit. This condo is great for a pied a terre or full time living due to its size and amazing storage boasting 1 oversized double closet and an additional closet. This won’t last long!
