Tucked into a classic facade on delightful Antrim Street, this spacious 2-level condo was custom designed and rebuilt by the architect-owner in 1975. A dramatically vaulted ceiling brings exciting amounts of open space and modern design to the interior. Now freshly renovated, it offers new, contemporary styling in the kitchen, baths and throughout. This 3-bed, 2-bath home features an expansive open living and dining area, a brand-new kitchen, a gas fireplace, and a top floor private rear deck. The layout, mixed scale and blended finishes make this home feel both dramatic and cozy. It’s well set up for working from home or entertaining with panache. Refinished hardwood floors, in-unit laundry, an en-suite bath on the top floor, and bonus office or lounge space. Centrally located between Central and Inman Squares, with easy access to the red line MBTA stations at Harvard or Central squares, Whole Foods, Kendall Square, and countless shops and restaurants such as nearby Oleana and Lamplighter Brewery.

Interior
Enjoy a private entry from the shared front porch.
At the top of the stairs, a landing area includes a wide coat closet and opens into the expansive living and dining room areas. Note the beautiful natural beadboard ceiling above the staircase.
The living room includes a bay window and a gas fireplace built cleverly beneath the staircase. The vaulted ceiling dramatically spans two floors, with an open balcony-style staircase and hallway on the level above.
The renovated kitchen abuts the living area and offers plentiful new gray shaker-style cabinets, black hardware, white quartz counters, and a gray marble herringbone backsplash. Appliances include a KitchenAid side by side refrigerator, a new KitchenAid 5-burner gas stove with convection oven and a vent hood, a KitchenAid dishwasher, and a Moen faucet with pull down sprayer and soap dispenser. The kitchen is finished with recessed lights, globe and pleated pendant lights and four windows for ample natural light.
To the rear of the main floor are two bedrooms, a full bath and two storage closets.
The main bath has a floating vanity, beautiful large black hexagonal tiled floor, and a generous standing shower with vertical subway tile surround, marble tile floor, a heated towel rack, and a mix of chrome and black hardware.
Both bedrooms on the main floor are generously sized with two or more windows and ample closets. The bedroom on the right includes a closet housing the washer/dryer, built-in storage cabinets, and a door to the rear stairway.
An exposed staircase above the fireplace frames the open room, and leads to the 3rd floor; here, it continues to a balcony overlooking the living room below.
Use the open space above for a home office, sitting room, or exercise/yoga studio. Built in shelves span the hallway for smart, accessible storage, while an arched window and an oversized skylight bring in wonderful natural light. Brand new wall-to-wall carpet lines the staircase and 3rd floor.
The primary bedroom is located to the rear and has a vaulted ceiling with warm wood beams overhead, two extra wide closets with built-ins, and a private deck.
The en-suite bathroom features a walnut mid-century style vanity with black faucet and hardware, a recessed medicine cabinet, and a gray ceramic tile floor. The extra deep soaking tub has a white subway tile surround and a rain showerhead.
