Welcome to The Vicomte, a professionally managed elevator building ideally located on the Allston/Brookline border. This oversized, fully renovated one-bedroom duplex offers 954 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space across two levels, creating a separation between everyday living and the private bedroom level that is rarely found in a one-bedroom condo. The main level features a welcoming entry, an open living and dining area with abundant natural light, and a brand-new kitchen with quartz countertops, white shaker cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances, recessed lighting, and a breakfast bar for casual dining or entertaining. New flooring and fresh paint give the home a clean, move-in-ready feel. Upstairs, the exceptionally spacious 13-by-26-foot bedroom easily accommodates a king-size bed with room remaining for a home office, sitting area, or nursery. A large walk-in closet provides excellent storage. The renovated full bathroom includes a tiled walk-in shower, modern finishes, and the convenience of in-unit laundry. Additional improvements include newer central HVAC (2025) and a newer water heater. The home includes one deeded garage parking space, additional storage, elevator access, and use of the shared roof deck with sweeping Boston skyline views. The monthly condo fee includes water, sewer, master insurance, exterior maintenance, landscaping, snow removal, and trash removal. Convenient to the Green Line, shops, restaurants, parks, Boston University, the Longwood Medical Area, Coolidge Corner, and major commuting routes. Crunch Fitness is located in attached space, giving residents the option of a full-service gym just steps from home. A separate membership is required and is not included in the condominium fee. A rare opportunity to enjoy the space of a larger home with the convenience of turnkey city living.
Commonwealth, located between Kenmore Square and Cleveland Circle, is a residential and academic Boston neighborhood with a grand boulevard and a linear park median. Commonwealth Avenue’s tree-lined Mall concentrates the area’s rhythm, where runners, dog walkers, and cyclists pass rows of brownstones and stately apartment buildings. The CITGO sign at Kenmore Square and the sweep of Commonwealth Avenue frame a streetscape of brick, bay windows, and stoops. Cultural pillars include the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Symphony Hall, and the Museum of Fine Arts. Green Line stops stitch together cafés, small restaurants, and campus edges along the avenue.
