Available now and priced at $3,500, this renovated 3-bedroom, 1-bath Brighton apartment at 1653 Commonwealth Ave combines classic architectural character with a brand-new kitchen and bath. Gleaming refinished hardwood floors run throughout, complemented by crown molding, white wainscoting, and a grand living room anchored by a decorative fireplace with an ornate mantel. Columned archways and double doors create an elegant flow between the spacious rooms, while oversized triple windows fill the space with natural light and open up to city views. The fully updated kitchen features crisp white shaker cabinets with matte black hardware, stone countertops, a marble-look tile backsplash, a stainless steel gas range with hood, a dishwasher, and a new stainless refrigerator, all set on durable dark plank flooring. The bathroom has been completely redone with marble-look tile, a modern vanity with a quartz top, and a tiled shower. Storage is a highlight, with a walk-in closet, a classic built-in hutch with drawers, and additional bedroom closets.
