Located in a garden-fronted building on beautiful Hancock St, this cozy & charming home has a quartz counter and island (seats 4) & full-size appliances in its kitchen. Original marble mantle and pine floors, seems larger as 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.
