Refined Back Bay living meets modern comfort in this fully renovated 2-bed, 2-bath residence on Commonwealth Avenue, a short stroll to the Public Garden and Newbury Street. Set on the sun-splashed third floor of a distinguished 1899 elevator building, the home pairs classic details—hardwood floors, tall ceilings, exquisite moldings, exposed brick, and a statement fireplace—with today’s essentials, including central air and a thoughtfully designed dine-in kitchen. A bay-window living/dining area frames leafy mall and skyline views; both bedrooms enjoy en-suite baths, with the serene primary overlooking the avenue. Elevator, low monthly fees, elegant lobby, and an unbeatable address make this an effortless city home or pied-à-terre. OPEN HOUSE: SAT 11/08 11-1 & SUN 11/09 12-2
