Set on a sleepy side street in the Baldwin neighborhood, this sophisticated top floor two bed, one bath condo has been masterfully restored with an artisan's eye - every surface considered, every finish intentional. The gracious living room anchors the home with high ceilings, south-facing windows, and a stunning fireplace surround in honed black mist granite. The generous dining room retains its period charm with original built-in cabinetry and a stained glass bay window. The kitchen is pure intention: custom inset cabinetry with a hand-painted finish and walnut interiors, honed Carrara marble counters and backsplash, and high end appliances like Miele. The bathroom is a timeless retreat - Waterworks throughout, radiant Carrara floors, a custom walnut storage cabinet. In-unit laundry, basement storage, rented garage parking, common patio, and a stable, well-run association. Blocks to Porter and Harvard Squares, with transit, shops, restaurants, and bookstores just outside your door.
