    This luxury first-floor unit in a privately owned three-unit building was fully gutted and rebuilt in 2020 along with the entire property, and it is now available for rent for the first time, offering a modern, high-end living experience with high ceilings throughout. Slightly elevated above street level, the unit provides added privacy, quiet, and convenient walkout access to the back deck overlooking a common driveway, perfect for enjoying the outdoors or walking to the street. The designer kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a custom waterfall island, a dry bar with a wine fridge, and a dedicated food pantry. The living room and primary bedroom include beautifully treated exposed-brick accent walls, while the primary suite offers a rainfall shower, double vanity, and a custom his-and-hers California walk-in closet. Custom window treatments include blackout curtains in the bedrooms and plantation shutters on the front windows for privacy and style, with a built-in California Closet coat and shoe storage system at the back entrance. Additional conveniences include in-unit laundry within a dedicated storage closet, a smart thermostat, high-efficiency natural gas heating, and central air conditioning. The unit also includes access to the basement and a heated deeded walk-in storage unit exclusive to Unit 1. The unit has just been fully detailed, with fresh paint being applied in select rooms, and is now ready for you to tour. Located in East Boston's vibrant Jeffries Point neighborhood, this unit is ideal for couples or young professionals seeking a mix of luxury, convenience, and lifestyle. Enjoy waterfront walks and views of the iconic Tall Ship Boston, craft cider at Downeast Cider House, dining at ReelHouse, or boating and waterside recreation at the Boston Harbor Shipyard, all within easy walking distance. Commuting downtown is effortless, with the ferry and Maverick Square Blue Line just minutes away, providing one-stop access to the Aquarium, North End, and Financial District. Jeffries Point offers a quiet community-oriented feel with waterfront charm, boutique restaurants, and outdoor recreation, combining modern city living with neighborhood character.
