About this home

This lovely 2-bed home is in excellent condition and perfect for a new owner-occupant or investor. The renovated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and stylish fixtures. Other recent updates include a modern bathroom with built-in storage; gorgeous refinished hardwood floors and fresh paint; all new energy-efficient windows; and recessed lighting throughout. The open living/dining room has a built-in china cabinet, and the bedrooms are comparably sized for maximum flexibility—roommates, work-from-home, or guest space. The generous entry foyer allows for a desk or armoire. Additional benefits include a private porch, laundry just one floor below, and a large exclusive-use storage area. Heat and hot water are included in the condo fee. Well situated near B, C, and D Green Line stations, Boston College, restaurants, shopping, and public recreation areas including dog parks, tennis/pickleball courts, and Chestnut Hill Reservoir.
