Located in a nice garden-fronted building on beautiful Hancock St, this cozy and charming home has quartz countertops and island (seats 4), full-size appliances in its kitchen. Original marble mantle and pine floors, seems larger because no space is wasted on hallways.

Equally viable as as an owner occupied unit, rental (excellent yearly rental history), or pied a terre. Non smoking building that does not allow short term rentals;1 dog/cat allowed per condo rules. Steps to MGH and Whole Foods, close to T-stations, restaurants, shopping, and downtown. New rubber roof, hatch for roof access, and hot water tank; newer gas furnace and fire alarm system in the building.
