Description
When you first see 392 Marlborough in Boston, you'll wonder how such an urban jewel is only in the $2 million range. This oversized condo is one of the closest things you'll find to living in a house in the city while enjoying the unique benefits that only come with condo living. This building dates back to 1899, and you'll see much of the beautiful historical character still there today.
You'll enjoy having a front garden area near the entrance. The elevator comes directly into the grand foyer area. The living room offers a look at this beautiful area, as well as the historic street. This area is formal, with high ceilings, a beautifully carved fireplace, bay windows, and cherry wood floors. There are still several period details in the home that you will enjoy yourself, and love pointing out to guests when they visit your home.
A chef's kitchen will please you with all of the unique features that it offers. This contemporary-style kitchen opens to a dining room that is useful both for large gatherings and for use as a den. These two rooms offer a distinct loft feel. This level has a half bath that comes in handy when you have guests over or just plan on being upstairs a lot.
The lower level has two bedrooms, accessed via a grand staircase. These spacious rooms are especially inviting after you've had a busy day. The master bedroom consists of a full suite with his and her walk-in closets, full master bath with Jacuzzi, and separate half bath. The second bedroom also features an attached full bath, which makes this condo a perfect option if you love to have frequent overnight guests.
A study is on the same level as the bedrooms, making a good place to do work or activities that require your full concentration. The laundry room on this level eliminates the need to have to go up and down stairs to put your laundry away. Storage rooms also help make life easier. Two nice bonuses that you'll have down here include a wine refrigerator and a wine cellar.
