About this home
Not your typical Brighton condo. Set on the Brookline line, this move-in-ready top-floor end-unit 2-bed, 1.5-bath townhouse pairs 1,000+ sq ft across two spacious levels with something much harder to find: your own private roof deck, off-street parking, and dedicated storage. The main level features pristine hardwood floors, a spacious living room with wood-burning fireplace and French doors to a common balcony, dedicated dining space, and an updated kitchen with granite counters, stainless appliances, and gas cooking. In-unit laundry, half bath, and an oversized storage closet round out the level. Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms each offer double closets, with the primary opening to a second balcony. Direct interior access leads to the private Trex roof deck (2019)—your own outdoor space for morning coffee, dinner with friends, or drinks above the city. Central A/C, 2025 water heater, 2024 washer/dryer, dedicated storage (5'2" x 6'2"), one off-street parking space, and professional management check the practical boxes. Ideally positioned between Beacon Street and Commonwealth Ave with easy access to Brookline, the B, C & D Green Lines, Whole Foods, restaurants, and neighborhood favorites. Two levels. Private rooftop. Parking. Space to actually spread out. In-unit laundry and Central Air. City living without the usual compromises.

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.
