Gem of South End home is priced well
The single-family home at 1 Greenwich Court in the South End/Lower Roxbury neighborhood lies within the Frederick Douglass Square Historic District and has a lot of history.
Joann Suyao and Bart Foster of Keller Williams Realty’s Boston Metro office have listed this three-story brick rowhouse at $368,000.
It is among a cluster of modest homes built in the area between 1874 and 1891 by Robert Treat Paine, one of the country’s leading philanthropists of his day.
Paine ardently believed that workers should be able to enjoy a quality of life that accompanies home ownership, away from the overcrowded inner city.
Suyao said this two-bedroom, two-bath home has been completely renovated and boasts a brand-new kitchen with top-of-the-line Bosch appliances, including a gas range and a pot-filler for added convenience.
The chef’s kitchen also has wraparound granite counters, custom-built cherry cabinetry and red oak flooring.
“Everything imaginable has been incorporated into this house,” Suyao said.
One section of the counter is two-tiered, and the upper tier serves as a breakfast bar.
The cherry cabinetry complements the granite counters and stainless steel appliances in the kitchen.
A dining area and a small living room are on this floor as well.
The garden level features a spacious living area with a wet bar plus a full bath with a slate shower. In addition, there is an exterior door that opens onto a brick patio that has a gas line for an outdoor grill.
Two bedrooms are on the upper level, where there is another full bath with a combination tub/shower, a pedestal sink and a Greek key tiled floor.
The home has abundant recessed lighting and is wired for surround sound on two levels. It also features smart three-zone central heating and cooling.
This charming home offers sophistication and value, she said.
