221 boylston avenue

Classic mid-century pool home steps to the beach presented in impeccable condition. This home is on the market for the first time in many decades after years of love and care from a longtime owner who made numerous upgrades and updates over her ownership without disturbing the original charm, unique architectural details and vintage interior and exterior appointments. Step inside to find oak floors that shine like new beneath vaulted ceilings hovering high above a fireplace set into a stone wall. Gracious window spaces allow natural light to flood through the open living spaces. Just beyond the living/dining combo areas is a lovely Florida Room that opens onto the sprawling screened lanai. This covered, open-air space served the owners as a poolside, outdoor living and dining area where the breezes and sounds of The Atlantic Ocean flow in from the beach just a couple of blocks away. 2 guest rooms, both with volume ceilings, share an ultra-cool vintage bath in excellent original condition. This unique bath layout features two commodes on opposite sides with individual sinks and vanities and interior doors for privacy to the shared shower which has a soaring ceiling with a high transom window (must see). The poolside primary bedroom offers privacy and an oversized private bath with raised vanity, makeup counter, custom shower with glass enclosure and a large alcove that could be additional closet space. Step outside to the private, free form pool that sits adjacent to the lush green fenced yard to experience the serenity and peacefulness of this property. The photos tell the story, but this property must be seen to be appreciated. Roof 2014. Major plumbing updates. No flood zone. WILL NOT LAST!
