Urban Living at its Finest with Scandinavian-Inspired Design! Charm abounds in this thoughtfully designed two-story stand-alone 1 bedroom, 1.5 bath cottage located in a quiet, established neighborhood just blocks from the heart of North Beacon Hill. This open-concept like-new home blends warmth, style, and functionality highlighted by exposed wood beams, a vaulted ceiling, polished concrete floors, and large windows that flood the space with light. The Scandinavian-inspired interior combines modern comfort with natural touches that are mirrored on the minimalist exterior nestled among trees.
