Seller’s Comments
Coffee shop of choice: Bloc 11 Cafe is a new, hip coffee shop/pastry shop/restaurant that just opened a few blocks away in Union Square. They have some of the best sandwiches we have had in a long time! Its a great place to get together with friends as well as a great place to get some alone time!
Favorite places to go: Our favorite place to go is downtown to Boston Commons, especially in the warm weather. The park is full of people, blooming trees and flowers. You can even ride the Swan boats in the lake. There is plenty of room for picnics, frisbee, dog-walking or just relaxing on a bench watching all the people go by. And there always seems to be a wedding or two taking pictures!
And there is always sleigh riding in the winter when the snow blankets the park!
Favorite restaurants in the area: Antonia’s in Davis Square and Koreana in Inman Square are two of our favorite restaurants. Antonia’s is a small Italian restaurant that seats about 30 people. The restaurant boasts an open kitchen, and the windows open out to the square in the warm weather. Antonia’s is a quaint restaurant, great for people watching and great italian food! Koreana is a Korean BBQ restaurant that has everything from sushi to tempura to traditional Korean dishes. You can even BBQ right at the table. This is a great place for two or a large party, and you won’t find any better and polite service in the city!
Best features of the home: One of the best features of our home is the fact that we live on a quiet, tree-lined street, but at the same time have amazing views of downtown Boston. You can see the entire skyline of the city!
Favorite room: Our favorite room of the house is the living room. We can cozy up on the couch and look at the view, whether it’s the city from the numerous windows along the side or the sunset from the front bay windows. We also like to entertain a group of friends as the open floor plan allows for overflow into the dining room.
Any remodeling since last purchase?: The condo was renovated in 2005 prior to our move-in and has bamboo flooring, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, cherry cabinets, a slate master bathroom with a jacuzzi tub, a second full bath with marble, and front and back porches.
Most romantic spot: The most romantic spot in our home is the front porch. We have a couple of chairs out there and love to watch the sunset!
What’s in the neighborhood: The neighborhood is nestled between historic Charlestown and Cambridge. It is in walking distance to Union Square as well as to the T(Boston’s subway system). There is a bed and breakfast in the area and a Holiday Inn in walking distance as well. There is easy access to the expressway, without all the noise!
There are many parks in the area, as well as the local, infamous Mount Vernon Restaurant.
What I will miss the most: We are going to miss city living the most! We have been in Boston for almost 6 years now and loved being so close to everything!
