Top-floor duplex loft that lives like a townhome, in a row of contemporary townhouse-style condos in Eckington. Your own private front entrance opens to a black marble entry landing, and floor-to-ceiling bay windows on both levels fill the home with light and treetop views. Freshly painted, with newly refinished bamboo floors on both levels, soaring ceilings and Andersen windows. The main level is open for living and dining, with a separate family room, a gas fireplace, a powder room, and a stainless kitchen with new quartz counters and a breakfast bar. An open staircase with a black metal railing leads up to two bedrooms, two full baths (one with travertine floors and an extra-large, floor-to-ceiling travertine shower) and a large enclosed den with a door and high clerestory windows that works as an office, studio or media room. A deck off each level, a private front yard with a garden area, and off-street parking on a private, fenced pad behind a roll-up security gate. Recent updates: new roof, high-efficiency HVAC, new skylight and new marble at the front and rear entries.
