Full of warmth and personality, 15A Madison Street, Unit 2 is like an old friend you can’t wait to hang out with. Its classic style calms you, and as the building sits proudly on the corner of Madison Street and Holly Avenue on Observatory Hill, it is filled with the most beautiful light. Once a series of small spaces, it has been opened up to allow you to live the way you want to today. The living and dining rooms have been blended into one large, comfortable space grounded by a pretty fireplace and built-in hutch. Instead of being a small box set at the back of the house, the kitchen, with its beautiful blue cabinets, feels vast and connected to the rear deck. Two bedrooms and a pretty bathroom round out the living space; there is a second deck at the front of the house and a fabulous entry hall where you can pause and shed your coat at the end of the day. Fantastically located between Harvard Square and Huron Village, 15A Madison Street #2 is ready to take you in and share its warmth and personality with you.
