Efficiently designed top-floor one bedroom with a private roof deck and a flexible bonus den/office, ideally located on tree-lined Lawrence Street on the Back Bay/South End line. Freshly painted and thoughtfully laid out, this home offers a comfortable, efficient floor plan that lives larger than a typical one bedroom. The sunny living area features high ceilings, hardwood floors, custom built-ins and plantation shutters, while the separate den/office provides the flexibility of a home office, reading room or additional living space. The well-sized bedroom also offers custom built-ins and ample closet space. The thoughtfully designed kitchen features custom wood cabinetry, granite countertops, Fisher & Paykel appliances and a peninsula perfect for casual dining or morning coffee. The marble-tiled bath includes a tub and designer vanity. Upstairs, a private roof deck offers a wonderful place to enjoy the city and views toward the John Hancock Tower. Top-floor privacy, great natural light and thoughtful custom details throughout. Just around the corner from the best of Back Bay and the South End, with restaurants, shops and public transportation all close by. Permit street parking available.
