Back Bay Home of the Week: 261 Beacon St., Unit 23

This fabulous one-bedroom condominium in Back Bay is the right property at the right price.

A Beacon St. address for only $395,000? You read this right. This lovely one bedroom condominium located in the heart of Back Bay offers its residents all the best Boston has to offer right at their doorstep and at a price that leaves a little extra in the checking account. With a reasonable price, and equally realistic monthly maintenance fee, owners also do not have to sacrifice looks or quality. This 16-unit complex is a well maintained property with laundry facilities, bike storage and even an incredible common roof deck that overlooks the Prudential Center.

Elevated ceilings, decorative moldings, oversized windows and vintage details are all period enhancements that have been preserved to offer residents the true experience of historic living. This property's new owners will delight in walking home as they approach their building that is considered quintessential Boston with its classic architectural construction. Inside, the spacious living/dining room offers a marble wood-burning fireplace as its main focal point, however, the large windows overlooking scenic Boston draw attention outdoors as well. The galley kitchen offers a great amount of counter and cabinet space, especially in relation to its location and square footage. The bedroom can accommodate many furniture and accessory options while the full bath has been finished with
modern classics of black and clear glass.

City residences are a highly desired lifestyle that many may initially shy from with apprehension to cost. This unit is a prime example that Boston living can be both affordable and comfortable with the right property, and this would definitely be considered the perfect opportunity. Schedule a personal tour today with Eve Dougherty, from Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, it promises to leave a lasting impression.
