About this home

Very nice unit in the heart of Back Bay. The kitchen was renovated two years ago. The rest of the unit is in very nice condition. The unit is about 8 steps down from the front entrance of the building, but even with the ground, since it's on the back of the building. There is an AMAZING ROOF DECK that has beautiful views of Boston, the Charles River, and the July 4th fireworks display. The Esplanade is just a 1/2 block from the building. Newbury Street and the Boston Common are a short walk away. The laundry room is just down the hallway. Low condo fee. Great for an investor or an owner occupant. Most affordable one bed in the Back Bay!
