Gracious renovation of a 1927 4 bedroom, 3 bath brick-fronted attached single family reminiscent of a classical Beacon Hill townhome. The interior transformation seamlessly combines period details with modern amenities creating a stylish yet very livable space featuring high ceilings, oak hardwood floors, and custom built-in cabinetry. The open, remarkably bright main living level looks out onto the private rear deck through dual sets of French doors. The second floor features 3 bedrooms & a full bath. The entire third floor is a primary bedroom with multiple closets including a large walk in, built-in bookshelves, sitting area, gas fireplace and bath en suite. The finished basement is home to a large music room with more storage and a Murphy bed, laundry, the third full bath, and home gym. The Mitsubishi split ductless system and two gas fireplaces provide individual room climate control. Most rooms feature high-end built-in Bose speakers with individually controlled receivers.
