Welcome to Garden Unit 1 at 256 Putnam Avenue — our exclusive residence and a rare opportunity to own the only duplex in the building with two interior floors within a brand-new boutique 4-unit townhouse conversion.

The residence offers flexible layout options with two floorplan configurations for the primary bedroom, allowing for designs with or without a closet to suit different lifestyle needs.
Designed for modern living, the home spans the full width of the building and is filled with natural light. Interior features include high ceilings, oversized windows, and wide-plank hardwood floors throughout.
The chef’s kitchen is beautifully appointed with premium GE appliances, custom European cabinetry, quartz countertops, and refined finishes.
The spa-inspired bathrooms feature heating functionality in both bathrooms so you’ll be cozy year-round. The secondary bathroom offers a luxurious soaking bathtub, while the primary bathroom is outfitted with a sleek stand-up rainfall shower — creating a true spa-like retreat.
The huge lower-level recreational room is a major value-add, offering incredible flexibility as a movie theater, home gym, media lounge, home office, or guest space.
