Chic Wooster Sq Condo where elegance meets modern convenience! Welcome to this stunning 2-bed, 2-bath condo in the heart of Wooster Square, directly overlooking the park. Originally built in 1857 as the Edward Rowland House, this historic gem is a boutique 6-unit condo building-quiet, well-managed, and full of character. This 1st fl unit impresses with soaring 11' ceilings, oversized 8' windows, and gleaming refinished hardwood floors. The open-concept layout blends living and dining spaces effortlessly, perfect for both relaxing and entertaining.
