Classic single family bow-front townhouse on a quiet side street around the corner from the SE's finest shops, restaurants and cafés! This sunny home has been renovated with a wonderful contemporary family-friendly floor plan, while preserving beautiful details like original Carrara marble fireplaces, crown moldings and elegant walnut woodwork. The open kitchen level has living and dining spaces with wide-plank oak floors throughout. Thermador appliances such as a vented dual-fuel gas range with a griddle and 2 ovens make cooking a pleasure, and the large island with seating on two sides makes informal dining an easy option. A walk-out deck off of the kitchen allows for convenient grilling and looks out over your private garden. A full-floor primary suite with renovated bath and closet has stunning Back Bay skyline views, as does the roof deck. Three additional beds and a huge storage room make this home practical as well as lovely. Many options available for rental garage parking.
