Nestled in the historic Hotel Bellevue, a condo unit has emerged as an enticing starter home in the heart of Boston’s Beacon Hill.
Constructed in 1899 and converted into condominiums in 1982, this fourth-floor unit features 508 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space.
For just $687 a month in fees—which includes gas heat, electricity, and other utilities—this one-bedroom, one-bathroom condo draws in potential homeowners with its unique blend of history and modern living.
The convenience of public sewer and water systems further complements the affordability of maintaining the unit.
Drawing in a distinctly urban vibe, the property is located just steps away from several notable landmarks.
The entrance situates conveniently to the right of Taco Azul at the intersection of Bowdoin and Beacon streets, placing residents in close proximity to the iconic golden dome of the State House.
In fact, the enviable location provides nearly unmatched access to scenic public spaces, including the sprawling 50-acre Boston Common and the beautiful 24-acre Public Garden.
Upon entering the condo, visitors are greeted by a remarkable parquet-style hardwood flooring that extends throughout the unit, except in the kitchen and bath areas.
The immediate right reveals a closet, while a door on the left opens into a cozy bedroom, which measures 69 square feet.
The design features interior walls that do not meet the ceiling, ensuring a seamless flow of air and light within the space.
The bedroom closet is cleverly designed, with mirrored sliding doors maximizing both space and functionality.
As one moves deeper into the condo, the full bathroom awaits, complete with a white pedestal sink, ceramic tile flooring, and a convenient shower/bath combination.
Decorative ceramic tiles rise three-quarters of the way up the bathroom walls, adding a touch of style to this functional space.
Continuing through the home, the combined dining and living area emerges, measuring a generous 232 square feet.
This cohesive space is enhanced by a grand light fixture with candle-like designs, alongside crown molding that adorns the entire unit.
The living area is artfully defined by the decorative fireplace, which features a classic wood mantle, adorned with an elegant mirror.
Conversely, the dining area, positioned near three gently-curved glass windows, invites natural light to flood the space, currently accommodating a small table that comfortably seats four.
These windows offer a partial view of the Boston Common and the solemn Fallen Firefighters Memorial in the nearby State House courtyard.
The final space within the unit is the charming 48-square-foot kitchen, featuring a sleek black sink and electric cooktop.
Light-colored cabinets complement the black accents, while white subway tiles interspersed with a thin black tile line create an aesthetically pleasing backsplash.
Practicality combines with style in this kitchen, complete with a ceramic tile countertop and a white refrigerator.
Residents of the condo benefit from additional amenities, including on-site management and access to a rooftop deck that offers captivating views of the city.
The rooftop community function room, dedicated bike storage, and conveniently located laundry facilities enhance the overall living experience.
Overall, this charming condo reflects the vibrant lifestyle of urban living in one of Boston’s most desirable neighborhoods.
