Back Bay Home of the Week: 299 Marlborough St., Unit 1

Prospective Boston homebuyers will be enthused with this great opportunity to purchase a property right in the heart of the Back Bay. This delightful two bedroom vintage brownstone is located on legendary Marlborough St. within walking distance to retailing, businesses, restaurants and public transportation. It is the ideal scenario for individuals or couples looking to introduce the invigorating city lifestyle into their daily routines.

This condominium was resourcefully designed to take full advantage of its 965 square feet of living space with elevated nine-foot ceilings and a fluid floor plan that unites the living and dining areas with the open kitchen. The main living space incorporates an oversized living room with crown moldings, Hunter Douglas automatic blinds and built-ins with the exposed kitchen subtly divided by peninsula with dropped lighting and bench seating. This culinary center offers a surprisingly amount of granite counter and custom cabinetry for a Boston condominium at this price and also includes bonus ingredients with stainless steel appliances, glass-front storage and recessed lighting. Two generously large bedrooms and two full baths complete the floor's layout.

In addition to its practical blueprint, this condominium also offers many amenities to its owners, including gleaming hardwood floors, central air conditioning, an alarm system, a private patio and direct access to a tandem parking space.

This five-unit building, originally built in 1890 and tastefully renovated in 2006, is a quintessential example of Boston's infamous real estate and while it has been refurbished, the structure and its renowned surroundings are why so many homebuyers continue to be lured by the historic charm of the brownstone and this renowned city.
