On the Flat of historic Beacon Hill, this fine Federal-style townhouse designed by Richard Arnold Fisher reflects perfect harmony along a row of homes by the noted architect on peaceful Brimmer Street, just a couple blocks from Charles Street, the Charles River Esplanade, and the Public Garden. Understatedly elegant with fireplaces and built-in cabinetry, the comfortable light-filled living room and study are served by a wet bar for gracious entertaining. Fireplaces also highlight the sitting room and dining room with china cupboards and butler’s pantry. The gourmet kitchen is open to the family/breakfast room leading to a terrace. Having an entire level to itself, the capacious primary bedroom suite is beautifully appointed with custom built-ins, a closet-lined dressing room/office, and a marble bath. The other bedroom level opens to a deck. This extremely well-maintained home is served by 2-zone heating/cooling. The owner currently rents a parking space at the Brimmer Street Garage.
