Be the first to live in this stunningly renovated single family. Your new home sits less than a block from Bunker Hill Monument, nestled on a gas-light, pedestrian-only avenue dating back before the 1860s. Passing through the fenced-in patio and the heated mudroom, you’ll enter a sun splashed first floor living space. The open concept floor plan reveals a cozy gas fireplace and classic bay window in the living room, which leads into a sparkling, brand new kitchen featuring Bosch appliances, farmers sink & a four-person breakfast bar. A half bath with washer/dryer hook-ups is around the corner and completes the first floor. Ascending the original historic staircase you’ll find the second floor full bathroom, the master bedroom, which boasts a 6’x8’ walk-in closet or office and the second bedroom. Plenty of storage space in the basement. End your day watching the sun set over the monument from the brand new composite roof deck.
