Extraordinarily unique and ideally located between Kendall, Central and Inman Sq., this freestanding single-family offers four levels of living space, off-street parking and a discernible old-world charm that's very hard to come by. Replete with exposed brick walls, tray ceilings, and custom built-ins, original period details coalesce with an even wider array of modern upgrades. Currently, the property functions as a bi-level residence on the first floor/garden level, with a supplementary bi-level in-law on the second/third floor. Both spaces can easily be combined with little to no reconfiguration, though the current layout may also work well for owner-occupants with extended family. On the lower levels, a modern chef’s kitchen, living room, 1.5 baths, and fully finished basement anchor the space, while the upper floors are distinguished by an expansive loft-style living area, kitchenette, 2 additional full baths, and a primary bedroom with skylights, huge closets and a rear deck.
