Historic mid-19th century charm meets contemporary living within this parlor-duplex, featuring hardwood floors throughout, high ceilings and original period detail. A private, gated entrance leads into the entry foyer and turns toward the open-concept living & dining area complete with a built-in dry bar. The adjacent kitchen is delivered with granite counters & stainless appliances, surrounded by abundant cabinetry. A rear guest bedroom (or home office) with exposed brick accent wall rests behind French doors. Transition upstairs to the primary bedroom featuring a wood-carved fireplace, flanked by matching bookcases & oversized front-facing bay windows. The pass-thru closet leads to an updated en-suite bath. This former Charles Kirby home (circa 1864) is a professionally managed building, conveniently located near Commonwealth Mall & Boston Common.
