About This Home

As of October 2020

Opportunity to own in one of Boston's desired neighborhoods on prestigious Commonwealth Ave. Steps to Newbury Street, transportation, Prudential, Copley, Public Garden and the footbridge to the lagoons on the Charles. The least expensive & best value in Back Bay. Tiny living design at its finest. Concealed loft was a Tokyo-style sleep space before the custom-built, full-size Wilding Wall Bed arrived which will remain. LEDs tucked in to crown molding illuminate original vaulted high ceiling. The convection oven & microwave combo bakes like a champ, gas cooktop by Wolf, nearly-silent slimline stainless dishwasher by Miele concealed to maintain the feel of a living room. No detail overlooked, ready for its new owner occupant or investor.
