This boutique-style, doorman residence is ideally situated directly across from the Spruce Street entrance to the iconic Boston Common. The bow-front facade is a testament to exquisite craftsmanship, with meticulous renovations transforming this condominium into a luminous, corner sanctuary. Step into this expansive 2, 006 sq.ft. duplex through your private entrance on Beacon St. Interiors showcase refined details such as crown molding and wainscoting. The open-plan living and dining areas seamlessly flow into the gourmet kitchen. This level also includes a serene bedroom suite and a convenient laundry room.
