This unit is part of the former mansion of Godfrey Lowell Cabot, founder of the Cabot Corp., that has seen extensive updating over the past several years.
Unit 3 at 242 Beacon St. is one of nine units carved out of the grand mansion. And Unit 3's living/dining area was the home's original receiving parlor.
Recent renovations include two redone bathrooms, updated kitchen, walnut-stained red oak floors throughout, three new HVAC units, new living room windows and built-in shelving for bedroom closets.
The brick exterior of the building and the roof were recently repaired and the front landscaping was redone last year. The marble floor in the building's lobby was replaced in 2012, and a reconditioned elevator and stairways lead up to the condos.
Unit 3 opens into a foyer with a large storage closet. This space is approved for installation of an in-unit washer and dryer. Right now, there is washer/dryer for common use in the building's basement.
Straight ahead is the unit's updated kitchen with oak floors, recessed lighting, 16 white-painted cabinets and dark granite countertops with a tumbled marble backsplash. Stainless-steel appliances include Kitchen Aid and G.E. Profile.
The large living/dining space has a lot of original detailing such as crown molding and a blue tile-faced original wood fireplace. This recessed-lit room has high ceilings, three new front windows in a bay arrangement and cabinet and bookcase built-ins on either side of the fireplace.
The master bedroom suite has a large arched architectural window and a walk-in closet with newly built-in storage. It has a redone en-suite bathroom with black-and-white ceramic tile floors but does not have a tub or shower, although there's space in a corner of the living room to expand.
There's a also fully redone second full bathroom with black-and-white ceramic tile floors, and this bath does have a deep soaking tub/ shower lined with white subway tile.
The second bedroom does not have a window to the outside, but an interior lightwell with storage space. There's also a closet with built-in storage.
There are three new HVAC units, in the living room and in the two bedrooms with new electric thermostats. Heat and hot water is provided as part of the unit's condo fee.
There is a waiting list for parking behind the building for $300 a month. But the owner may be able to get a nearby transferable rental space for $325 a month.
