This fully renovated 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence at Longview blends timeless character with modern comfort overlooking the Charles. New windows frame river views and fill the home with natural light. The spacious living room features a fireplace, detailed millwork, and hardwood floors. The carefully designed, fully renovated kitchen opens directly to the dining room, creating an easy flow for entertaining. Glass-front cabinets and transom windows preserve the home’s period character, while custom cabinetry and a built-in window seat add function and charm. A bookcase-lined study provides an inviting home office or quiet retreat. Both bedrooms feature oversized closets, and the property has central air conditioning. Longview is home to a rare kind of community cultivated through private garden parties and monthly gatherings hosted in residents’ homes—continuing the building’s tradition of neighbors coming together. This elevator building is 100% owner-occupied. Co-op amenities include an exercise room, private storage, a live-in superintendent, and laundry. Fees include taxes and heat.
