Hyde Park vintage move-in perfection! Gorgeous, meticulously restored 4bed/2bath home in an A+ location in the heart of the neighborhood! This condo was lovingly restored over the last 25 years with INCREDIBLE ATTENTION TO DETAIL!!! All the beautiful vintage charm was kept while seamlessly integrating modern updates: 4 mini splits for AC, in-unit laundry, gut rehabbed kitchen and baths + new windows on ALL FOUR SIDES. A beautiful foyer with cute built-in boot closet and grand living room space welcome you into the home. High ceilings, refinished hardwood floors and carefully restored millwork throughout. An elegant decorative fireplace with built-in bookcases and bay windows overlooks pretty Dorchester Ave in the living room. Huge separate dining room with box beam ceiling, bay windows, and arched details accommodates a large table. Both baths tastefully renovated in 2020; master bathroom with subway tile, Pottery Barn lighting, shelves, hooks and Kohler fixtures. Truly 4 bedrooms with great closet space in all rooms. The primary bedroom has a walk-in closet. Excellent split-bedroom layout for lots of privacy with a zigzag hallway with large closet. Bedrooms two and three are spacious as well with good light and storage. The small fourth bedroom has its own en-suite bath making it a perfect guest room or home office. Modern white kitchen with new stainless-steel appliances, granite countertops and lots of storage plus a cute two-seat breakfast bar overlooking sunny east-facing deck. Original butler's pantry between kitchen and dining room makes a great bar. Big back deck off kitchen overlooks the fully fenced large backyard and garden.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
