Converted church simply divine
If you’re searching for a one-of-a-kind home in the trendy and historic South End, look no further than this impressive condo.
It’s perfectly understandable if Unit 202 at 201 West Brookline St. elicits an audible gasp. Converted in 2018, the towering red brick and lancet windows of the Concord Baptist Church are now home to nine luxury condo units — and an on-site garage.
At just under a whopping 2,500 square feet, the home enjoys a stunning two-level layout jeweled with highend upgrades and architectural details preserved from the home’s former life as a house of worship.
Double-height, cathedral ceilings tower over the living area which spans the width of the residence, highlighting the sizable paned lancet windows, gas fireplace ensconced in a floorto-ceiling accent wall, and a thrilling floating staircase that gently curves upward to meet the home’s lofted second level.
There is a powerhouse kitchen facing the open dining and living space, with professional-grade appliances neatly tucked behind glossy panels to match the gleaming custom cabinetry. A waterfall island with seating and two-tone cabinets seamlessly blends with the home’s modern, clean aesthetic.
Buyers will find three bedrooms and 3.5 sleek contemporary baths. The restful primary bedroom boasts a marble-clad bathroom with a soaking tub and glassed-in shower under a pair of sunny paned windows. All three bedrooms are appointed with sliding glass walls that open to the home’s interior, contributing to the residence’s openness — and cool factor.
Bonus for those concerned about South End parking woes — two parking spaces in the building’s underground garage are included with the unit.
