Description
4/5 Byron Street offers one of the finest living experiences in Boston within the $6 million range. This building was originally constructed in 1890 by Graham Gund. With only two condos in the building, you'll benefit from having a floor plan that dwarfs what many people have in single-family homes. In addition to deed street parking, there is also a two-car garage.
Opportunities to enjoy the fresh air abound with several decks attached to the building. The rooftop is an ideal place to go, and even has its own garden. From here, you'll have a perfect 360-degree view of the city. With three big bedrooms, four full baths, and another half bathroom, you'll wonder how you ever lived without all this space. An elevator provides fast access to all of the condo's levels.
An advantage of the open living area is the fact that it has many of the characteristics of a loft. Skylights and tall windows that face south let in more daylight than you could ever imagine. The main living area spans two stories and has one of most unique architectural styles you will ever see. Balconies with a grid motif offer additional gathering space for your most important life events. The fireplace and motif accent walls help make your living area the star of your home.
One feature that stands out in the master suit is its abundance of bay windows. The garden deck is a nice, private place for you to enjoy morning coffee. A dressing room makes getting ready in the morning or for a special event very easy. The marble bath in the master suite has a very exquisite look that you will enjoy. An office space, built in a loft style, is another handy feature. If you have housekeeping or other staff that live with you, this condo offers convenient quarters that give everyone necessary privacy.
