Unit Types & Layouts

The building is composed primarily of studios and one-bedrooms, with a limited number of two-bedroom units. Studios are frequently described as "two-room" or "three-room" layouts, often with entry alcoves or foyers large enough for a small workspace—offering a rare sense of separation for a studio. Several are noted as flexible floor plans usable as either a studio or one-bedroom. One-bedrooms range across floors up to the fifth, with front-facing units facing Commonwealth Avenue and quieter units on the Chestnut Hill Avenue backside. Two-bedroom units feature spacious living rooms, open galley kitchens, and good closet space.

Commuters have access to three MBTA Green Line branches—the B, C, and D lines—plus bus routes, including one across the street connecting toward Harvard Square in Cambridge. Shops, restaurants, and a movie theatre are all a short walk away, making this a practical choice for students, first-time buyers, and investors alike.
