Dorchester reno full of flair
Three-family condominium conversions in Boston run the gamut from basic to ultra-luxurious finishes, but their interior layout is frequently the same. After all, there’s only so much you can do with an interior designed at the end of the Victorian era.
Or … is there? The topfloor unit at 158 Neponset Ave. in Dorchester is anything but cookie-cutter. The condo’s layout is an architectural breath of fresh air, combining lots and lots of light and a little bit of drama into more than 2,100 square feet on two levels.
Open layouts and open concept kitchen, dining, and living areas are certainly not new or novel in condo renovations, but you won’t find them quite like this anywhere else. For Unit 3, the space is truly expansive, with a cathedral ceiling over the kitchen space, a wall of oversize windows and then endless possibilities for design. The kitchen’s layout makes adding an island or central workspace easy, although there’s plenty of counter space and updated cabinetry galore. From there, the living space can be parsed out to look like a modern loft space or divided into semiformal dining and living. Dinner party and big game hosts will love the room’s great flow and space to spread out.
The first level is also where you’ll find two goodsized, well-lit bedrooms with hardwood floors and a modest but fully updated bathroom. In-unit laundry also means no hauling baskets up and down stairs. But that’s not all for unit 3, because on the home’s second level, there’s a giant bonus room with wall-to-wall carpeting that can be used as a stunning master suite, home office or family room.
In the summer, the back of the home nestled on this charming section of Neponset Avenue enjoys lovely shade trees. Once the leaves come down, you’ll enjoy fall and winter views of Dorchester Bay.
Open house hours are 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday. To find out more about the home, priced at $549,900, contact Kristen Heffron with Village Realty HM at 774-283-0434.
