    What's special

    A rare parlor-level opportunity on Back Bay's coveted second block of sunny-side Commonwealth Avenue. Moments from the Public Garden, Boston Common, and the Charles River Esplanade, this front-facing, one-bedroom lofted home is bathed in natural light all day, with 13' ceilings and a bay of three soaring 10' windows framing direct views of the Comm Ave Mall. The expansive living area features a mirrored fireplace, elegant crown moldings and baseboards, and beautiful parquet floors. Stairs lead up to an oversized lofted bedroom with more of that excellent light and ample closet space. A spacious dining area sits tucked beneath the loft leading to an updated kitchen and tiled bath. Deeded storage and complimentary laundry are included. Set inside a historic brownstone, steps to the Green Line, Newbury Street, and the Charles River running paths. A chance to own a great starter home, pied-à-terre, or investment property with extensive rental history in an unbeatable Back Bay location.
