About This Home

As of July 2016

Wonderful home in one of Back Bay's most desirable areas. This spacious loft style studio/one bedroom features very high ceilings, lofted bedroom space (can hold a queen size bed - loft area to ceiling is just over 4 ft), beautiful original detail and molding, fireplace w/ mantel, renovated kitchen with granite counter-tops, gas cooking, dishwasher and disposal, large windows with Southern exposure and lot of light, and a large modern renovated bathroom. The unit also has a large storage closet on the upper lofted area. Central to all that Back Bay has to offer, this is a great home for an investor, owner occupant, or as a Pied-à-terre. Photos show two different layout options (one is from current tenancy without lofting the bed and one from previous tenant with using loft for bedroom). Don't miss this opportunity!
