This 3rd floor renovated condo features high ceilings, stunning moldings, period details, fireplace, terrific closet space, hardwood floors and laundry in unit. Granite countertops, very cool stone flooring, and white shaker cabinets in the remodeled kitchen, and also a renovated bathroom with fully tiled tub. Heating system & water heater 3 years old. Located in the true heart of Boston's historic Back Bay, between Gloucester Street and Fairfield, this is simply a fantastic opportunity. Parking space (tandem) directly behind building, comes with condo, so no add'l fee. Strong association, pet-friendly, low condo fees and 5 of 7 units owner occupied. This condo is currently rented through August 31st, 2017 ($2,400/month) and parking space is rented for $250/month - neither rent has been raised in 8 years, so well under market value. Excellent opportunity for end-user or investor.
