Presenting a distinguished one-bedroom duplex at the Vendome, one of Back Bay's most storied addresses on Commonwealth Avenue. Situated on the fifth floor and front-facing over Commonwealth Avenue with treetop views and high ceilings throughout, the residence offers a newly remodeled kitchen and a spacious living area with oversized windows providing excellent natural light on the main level, while a spiral staircase leads to the second floor, where an oversized lofted bedroom is complemented by a newly renovated bathroom, in-unit laundry, and closets redesigned with custom built-ins. This combination of layout, ceiling height, and in-unit laundry is rare for Back Bay and does not come on the market often. The building offers a 24-hour concierge and a grand, well-kept lobby, just steps from Copley Square, Newbury Street, the Charles River Esplanade, and major transit lines. Available 9/1 or possibly sooner for $4000/month.
