With enough space for planters, outdoor dining table and sofa, there’s plenty of room to entertain. This deck provides unbelievable views of The Charles River and the Boston skyline.
The bathroom sits off the hallway and is outfitted with a large format square tiled floor, a porcelain pedestal sink with chrome and ceramic hardware, and a mirrored built-in medicine cabinet with matching lights. There is a combination bathtub/shower with marble style ceramic tiled surround and a chrome curtain rail.
