About This Home

As of July 2023

Everyone knows the South End's 'Coke Bottle Building!' Bathed in light, this row-end brownstone has the best sun exposure from the South and West but then also has views of the Back Bay to the North. This kitchen of this home has been expertly crafted with quartz counters and a welcoming breakfast bar. There is great storage, tile back splash, pendant lights and a farmers sink. Friends and family will love the size of the entertaining space with possible dining areas at either end of the room. The bathroom has been expanded and has double vanities, excellent counter space and a large step-in glass shower. The bedroom is spacious and airy with four large windows overlooking Rutland Square. Maybe best of all, the walk-in closet is massive with carefully laid out storage and custom shelving. Step out of the AC and unwind at the end of the day on the private, treetop terrace and decide which of the neighborhood's great restaurants to walk to for dinner.
