A HIGH POINT ON BEACON HILL
Say what you will about Bostonians leaving the city for the suburbs, a spacious Beacon Hill condo with a common roof deck, courtyard and garage parking just steps from the Esplanade and MGH is still a magnificent unicorn among Boston real estate listings.
Located inside a converted 1860s schoolhouse, the property at 41-43 Phillips St., Unit 1, enjoys a professionally managed , boutique building experience with high owner occupancy at the intersection of history and 21st century convenience. You know, a unicorn.
Of a handful of striking features, the combination of super tall, 11-plus-foot ceilings and elaborate crown molding make the space feel substantial. They’re complemented by massive arched windows that welcome in natural light from three exposures. Open and bright, the living and dining area wraps around a roomy contemporary kitchen with breakfast bar seating that’s neatly tucked away, letting the elegant built-ins and double-sided fireplace take center stage.
The dining space — although you could certainly make it an extension of the living room — features a backdrop of floor-to-ceiling built-in cabinets and library shelving with a rolling ladder.
On the other side of the living room fireplace, you’ll find a neat den, a perfect backdrop for Zoom work calls.
Built-ins line the hall that leads to the condo’s two bedrooms — a guest bedroom with a built-in workspace and a lavish primary suite with walk-in closet, luxurious en suite bath, and the sweetest balcony with room for two that overlooks the courtyard.
The sale of the condo, on the market for $2,395,000, is represented by Julie Harrison, 617-413-6332, and Mary Conner, 617-861-7434, of the Julie Harrison Team with Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty. Private showings are available by appointment.
