Recently renovated and meticulously maintained, this is one of the most tastefully finished apartments in the Dorchester that you will ever see. The home features beautiful, wide-plank oak flooring that runs throughout. The floor plan centers around a very attractive and highly functional kitchen with recessed panel cabinetry, quartz countertops, a large porcelain farmhouse sink, and a peninsula countertop with room for 3 stools. The kitchen is open to the spacious living area, which is highlighted by banks of windows on two sides that welcome in soft, natural, northern light.

The bathroom is adjacent to a walk-in closet. The Dorchester is known for its beautifully appointed lobby, well-established management and staff, rooftop pool, gym, and onsite parking available for a monthly fee.
