Tucked into the corner of a quiet little private way in the Heights, this sun-splashed 1-bedroom condo offers a rare blend of charm, space, & serenity. One of just two units, this hidden gem welcomes you w/well-preserved period detail including high ceilings, hardwood floors, & arched doorways. The classic black & white eat-in kitchen was tastefully updated in 2020 & opens to an oversized, nearly 10,000 sq. foot back yard sanctuary graced by a mature oak tree! Like a scene from The Secret Garden, the outdoor space is perfect for birdwatching, tending flowers, or simply unwinding w/the sunset. With a roof & heating system just 20 years young & newer windows throughout, you’ll enjoy peace of mind. A garage, off-street parking, and lower-level storage add everyday convenience. Whether you're a snowbird who's simplifying, starting out fresh, or looking for a low-maintenance retreat, you’ll appreciate the easy stroll to Robbins Farm plus all of the nearby shops & restaurants in the Heights!

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
