Tucked into the corner of a quiet little private way in the Heights, this sun-splashed 1-bedroom condo offers a rare blend of charm, space, & serenity. One of just two units, this hidden gem welcomes you w/well-preserved period detail including high ceilings, hardwood floors, & arched doorways. The classic black & white eat-in kitchen was tastefully updated in 2020 & opens to an oversized, nearly 10,000 sq. foot back yard sanctuary graced by a mature oak tree! Like a scene from The Secret Garden, the outdoor space is perfect for birdwatching, tending flowers, or simply unwinding w/the sunset. With a roof & heating system just 20 years young & newer windows throughout, you’ll enjoy peace of mind. A garage, off-street parking, and lower-level storage add everyday convenience. Whether you're a snowbird who's simplifying, starting out fresh, or looking for a low-maintenance retreat, you’ll appreciate the easy stroll to Robbins Farm plus all of the nearby shops & restaurants in the Heights!
