This two-bedroom condo is one of two just carved out of a brick row house in Boston's charming Bay Village.
While the upper-floor unit has just gone under agreement, Unit 1 at 34 Melrose St., a 1,229-square-foot first-floor and basement duplex, is available for $1,079,000.
The row house has been completely redone. The exterior has all new windows and a refurbished wood-paneled entryway, and the interior has new dark-stained oak floors throughout. There's a built-in iPad that controls the unit's temperature through Nest thermostats and a built-in sound system with ceiling speakers in most rooms.
Unit 1 opens to the right off the first floor into an open living/dining area with crown molding and 9-foot ceilings with recessed lighting. There are two six-over-six windows and a refurbished fireplace with a black stone hearth.
The adjacent dining area has two windows that overlook a community garden next door, and two more rear-facing windows front on a fire escape.
Off the dining area is a marble-floored half bathroom.
The kitchen space is through a large opening and features Shaker-style white cabinets, bullnose-cut white granite counters and glass-mosaic tile backsplash. Stainless-steel appliances include a Samsung refrigerator, a GE Cafe gas stove, a GE dishwasher and built-in microwave. It has a window and French doors out to a fire escape.
The unit's two bedroom suites are on the lower level, down a set of turning oak stairs with a closet on a landing halfway down. Under the staircase is additional storage.
The master bedroom suite has recessed lighting, but at 12-by-9-feet is average-sized, and it has a small closet. A glass door leads up to a small private fenced-in brick patio that brings in light. The en-suite bathroom has white marble floors and surround for a glass-doored tub and shower. There's a wood vanity topped with polished white granite.
The hallway to the second bedroom holds a closet with a stacked Whirlpool washer and dryer.
The second bedroom suite has an 11-by-9-foot bedroom, on the small side, but it does have a full wall storage built-in as well as upper windows that reach street level and bring in light. There's a small closet. Its en-suite bathroom has a marble tile floor and surround for a walk-in shower as well as a white-granite topped vanity.
The unit has its own water heater, gas-fired central heating and cooling system.
It does not come with a parking space. Residential parking with a permit or renting a space in one of several nearby garages are the options.
