About This Home
As of August 2016Beautiful one bed / one bath home on lovely Commonwealth Avenue. Large gracious foyer with fireplace and a spectacular double staircase greet you upon entering the building. The unit, which was once the mansion's dining room, is just one flight up and features ornate detail throughout, including the original fireplace and sideboard, soaring 12 1/2 foot ceilings complete with crown molding. Current owners have updated the unit to include very thoughtful storage and built-ins throughout. Kitchen was updated in 2011, new windows and roof in 2012. Plenty of extra storage in basement. A magnificent blend of traditional with modern conveniences.
