This ideal urban escape is located on a quiet side-street between Marlborough and Beacon Streets,  five minutes from Commonwealth Avenue and Newbury Street. The five-story building is home to just two residences, ours and our upstairs neighbors.

A marble, shared foyer leads to the main floor, which hosts a spacious living room with high ceilings, large windows overlooking the street, a sitting area and working wood stove. Walk through french doors into the master bedroom, with a queen bed, dressing table, and love seat. En-suite bathroom includes an antique claw-foot tub, and large picture window.

A spiral staircase leads down to a garden-level living room and dining area, second bedroom with queen bed, and private brick patio. A galley kitchen with breakfast bar offers ample cooking space, and leads to private washer/dryer.
