Location! Style! Character! Beautifully updated first-floor studio on one of the most sought-after streets in the Back Bay checks all the boxes! Classic turn-of-the-century curb appeal w/a cobble-stone sidewalk and lovely wrought iron fenced gardens, setting the stage for entry to the impressive grand foyer of this impeccably kept building. The unit makes exceptional use of space, its 11’+ ceiling oversized windows and large closet further that expansive feel. Comfortable as a permanent residence or pied-a-tere. Built-ins mask a Murphy bed, providing great utility for office or gathering space during the day and comfort at night. Bath & kitchen are modern, the kitchen nicely separated from living area by a breakfast bar w/seating for two. Oversized FP, period moldings, hardwood flooring– of course! Laundry just across the hall. Steps to all the Back Bay has to offer eg the Shops of Newbury St, the Hatch Shell & paths along the Charles River, Boston Common and public transportation.
