Loft-style single-family Bell & Fandetti townhouse —Unique architecture and brilliant design on a quiet cul-de-sac. An ideal landing spot for those who want more than a condo and crave spectacular outdoor space and a great location. The main level combines the living, dining, and kitchen, anchored by southern exposure and a two-story mezzanine. French doors open to a private deck and large enclosed yard. The kitchen was redesigned from scratch to maximize space using clean modern design with white lacquered cabinets, butcher block countertops, and quality appliances. The third level has dramatic high ceilings with five skylights and an open lofted bedroom. The flexible living space can be utilized in so many ways, the attached heated garage is currently being used as a studio, and the first-floor office can be used as a guest room. Plus, the potential to install an electric car charger. Minutes to both Porter & Davis Square red line MBTA and all the wonderful shops and cafes!
