In a dynamic neighborhood like Roxbury, an 1851 Victorian done up in an Italianate style on a prime corner might mean a bulldozer and starting over from scratch, but we’re glad this didn’t happen with the four-condo development at 41 Winthrop St.
Choosing to revive much of the home’s exterior details and overhaul the inside, the condos are fresh, contemporary and amenity-laden while allowing the neighborhood to maintain its historic character.
Consisting of three two-bedroom units and one three-bedroom unit, the building boasts 11-foot ceilings on the two first-floor units, plus a bi-level layout that puts the master suite and master bathroom on the lower level for even more quiet and privacy.
Unit 2, clocking in at just over 1,200 square feet, is an inspiring meeting of substance and style thanks to its dramatic tall ceilings, herringbone oak floors, and oversized windows. The first floor greets you with a simple, open layout and a stunning kitchen that looks as good as it works. Featuring trendy but timeless subway tile, industrial inspired stainless steel appliances including a Verona gas range, two-tone cabinets and sleek black fixtures, plus a large island, it’s a space you’ll want to show off. During warmer months, a private deck off the kitchen is just right for taking in the sunset or savoring a meal.
Unit 2’s main level includes a guest bedroom with a custom closet and separate full bath. On the lower level, the comfortable master bedroom features a large walk-in closet and master bathroom, plus access to the laundry room.
If it’s bells and whistles buyers are after in this hot Boston real estate market, they’ll find them here with surround-sound Sonos speakers, central heat and air, and a deeded off-street parking space.
On the market for $689,000, the sale of the condo and the three additional units is represented by Anne Galvin with the Galvin Group, 617-436-2000. Open house hours are 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. Saturday and noon to 1:30 p.m. Sunday. An appointment and masks are required for showings.
