About This Home

As of October 2020

Freshly renovated 1210 sf two-bedroom, two-bathroom 6th-floor corner unit in a prestigious, professionally-managed elevator building just one block from the Boston Public Garden. Eastern & southern exposures provide wonderful light to the spacious open-concept living and dining rooms year-round and in the cooler months, the gas fireplace adds a warm ambiance. The chef's kitchen is the highlight of this beautiful condo with its farmers sink, granite countertops, gas cooktop, and elegant backlit cabinetry. The primary bedroom suite features a walk-in closet, en suite bath, and washer/dryer. The second very spacious bedroom also has an en suite bathroom and a graceful bow window. 50 Commonwealth Avenue is a meticulously run, pet-friendly building with two elevators and a full-time live-in superintendent. To top it off, the stunning common roof deck has multiple seating areas, a built-in gas grill, and offers spectacular views of the city. This is it. The best of Boston can be yours!
