About This Property

This is an over sized one bedroom in an elevator building that offers up style, light, and the very ultimate in location. Situated in the South End but close to the Back Bay border, the best that these 2 neighborhoods have to offer is right at your doorstep. Restaurants like Aquitaine and Mistral are mere minutes away, as are Back Bay Station, Copley Plaza, and shopping. With an abundance of storage, a sense of flexibility in design and use, and a sensible layout, this is the home for today's discerning buyer. Central air conditioning and in unit washer/dryer are just two luxuries in this unit. The common roof deck offers unparalleled views of the city, and is an oasis in the summer months. There is also a large private storage locker in the basement. Hardwood floors, newer kitchen appliances, a large walk in closet and tall windows that look toward the Financial District let in the morning light. A little bit of everything makes this a home that stands above the rest!

The manager has listed the unit size as 705 square feet.
