Seller’s Comments
Coffee shop of choice: Francesca’s Cafe is a short walk away on Tremont Street and they have the best breakfast or lunch food you can find in the area without breaking the bank. They also have a really convenient takeout counter for coffee and great baked goods.
Favorite places to go: The park in Copley Square is the most beautiful place to go on a nice, warm day. Where else is there a square surrounded by three architecturally famous buildings from different eras (Trinity Church, and John Hancock Tower) It’s only two blocks away so it’s great to get lunch at a nearby takeout restaurant and take a picnic there in the park, or go to the Farmers Market on Tuesdays and Fridays and listen to live music Thursday nights!
Favorite restaurants in the area: Living in the South End means you’re surrounded by excellent restaurants that people come to from all over, but Delux is a stone’s throw from home and is really just for neighborhood locals. This is where you go when you want home-made food without any effort, including going anywhere far!
Best features of the home: Being an end unit and surrounded by so many windows makes the condo very bright and warm. The unit has a great layout and architectural detail to really highlight the windows and the feeling of having the outdoors inside.
Favorite room: The living room/dining room is an amazing open space. It’s on the end of the building, so has eight windows on three sides of the room. There are breathtaking views of the Back Bay skyline to the north, the Downtown skyline to the east and peaceful South End gardens to the south. The only wall without windows has a great big fireplace, making this room great for all seasons.
Any remodeling since last purchase?: The kitchen has been completely updated with high-end stainless steel appliances and a bamboo floor.
Most romantic spot: The terrace off the master bedroom is a great place to have a romantic dinner. It is a quiet and peaceful area overlooking the building’s back gardens.
What I will miss the most: The location of this home is simply amazing. Living within a short walk in one direction of all the shopping and hussle of the Back Bay, and then in the other direction the peacefulness and great restaurants of the South End cannot be matched elsewhere!
