Set on a picture-perfect block in Charlestown's Gas Light District, this brownstone residence blends historic character with thoughtful updates. Soaring high ceilings, pocket doors, and intricate crown moulding set an elegant tone throughout, while two marble decorative fireplaces anchor the living and bedroom spaces with old-world charm. The kitchen has been tastefully upgraded with quartz counters for a clean, modern feel that stands in easy contrast to the unit's period details. A flexible layout offers one bedroom plus a bonus room, ideal as a home office or walk-in-closet, and custom-built closets add smart, tailored storage throughout. The building was recently registered as historic, preserving the architectural integrity of the block for years to come. Outside, the unit comes with both roof deck rights and back deck rights. Steps to Monument Square, the neighborhood's best restaurants, and everything that makes this one of Charlestown's most sought-after enclaves.
