About This Home

Rarely available 3 bed, 2 bath converted carriage house condo on one of Beacon Hill’s most charming streets. Tucked away at 40 Joy Street, this unique home offers the rare combination of privacy, outdoor space, and convenient first-floor living. A standout feature is the direct step-out access to a private patio and beautifully landscaped garden seating area surrounded by mature trees and plantings — a true urban retreat in the heart of the city. The spacious living room features an oversized bay window, custom built-ins, and a fireplace for a warm, inviting feel. The kitchen offers beautiful cabinetry, hidden panel appliances, oversized island seating, and adjacent dining space. Spacious bi-level bedrooms provide abundant closet space and flexibility for a home office or gym. The primary suite includes custom built-ins, a walk-in closet, and en-suite bath. Laundry room and additional deded storage unit. Moments from Charles Street, the Public Garden, MGH, restaurants & coffee shops.
