Listing broker remarks

Set on a wide, tree-lined street in the coveted East Side neighborhood, this stately brick single-family townhouse offers nearly 2,800 square feet of beautifully finished living space, 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and direct-access 2-car parking. Gut renovated in 2016 and meticulously maintained since, the home balances classic architecture with a thoughtful modern layout. The main level is defined by high ceilings, two bay windows, and generous living and dining areas that flow into a well-appointed cook’s kitchen with professional-grade appliances and an oversized island. A sunny rear deck with direct-piped gas for grilling creates a natural extension of the entertaining space. The full-floor primary suite features a gas fireplace, two walk-in closets, and a luxurious bath with soaking tub, separate shower, and the first of two laundry areas. Two additional spacious bedrooms, a skylit full bath with tub and linen closet, and a second laundry area occupy the upper level, while a private roof deck captures sweeping harbor and skyline views. The garden level adds a family room with gas fireplace, a comfortable fourth bedroom or home office, full bath with shower, and direct access to the home’s two parking spaces. Quiet yet centrally-located, the East Side neighborhood is known for its interesting and historic architecture, large parks and beach access, and also offers great proximity to popular schools, multiple acclaimed restaurants and coffee shops, and the Seaport.— Compass
