About This Home

As of August 2022

Just two blocks above vibrant and fun Union Square, and sited on a gorgeous leafy street dotted with colorful Victorians, this upper level duplex condo is spacious and gracious with loads of skylights, exposed brick, and gleaming hardwood floors throughout its 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and bonus sunroom off of the renovated and well-appointed kitchen. The private patio is a hidden retreat lush with greenery, and perfect for kicking back with friends or finding your inner gardener. The private basement space offers ample room equally suited to doing laundry or yoga. Located just minutes from artisan butchers, craft breweries, a climbing gym, and foodie restaurants, 77 Columbus Avenue unites Victorian residential calm with a dynamic urban lifestyle. Equidistant from Harvard, Porter, and Kendall Red Line T stations, and a stone's throw from the planned Green Line T station in Union Square!
