OPEN HOUSE Sat 21& Sun22 1-3pm Welcome to The Preston House, this boutique condominium, was originally built in 1926 and was completely redone in 1986. Its located on a quiet, tree-lined street. This unit is above grade on the first floor, one of only three duplexes in the 28-unit structure covering four floors. The unit has six windows on the two floors facing east toward a private courtyard with a large red maple tree receiving the morning sun and is protected from the elements by two west facing condo buildings which reflect the afternoon sun. The living and dining area are on the first floor with cozy wood burning fireplace and an open-space kitchen, including a new granite countertop and splash back, new sink and stainless steel appliances. The Manhattan-style unit has custom plantation shutters on all six windows, oak hardwood floors, and a spiral staircase leading to the second floor with a Mexican tiled bath, whirlpool tub and shower, large walk-in closet, separate upstairs exit and a full-size washer/dryer. The bedroom runs the full length of the second floor.
With a walking score of 98 this is a walker's paradise.

Its surrounded by eateries (Chef Geoffs, Imperfecto, Blue Duck) and is close to the library, Equinox, SoulCycle, Whole Foods, Trader Joes, and several medical buildings.
Condo fees are low; the association replaced the buildings roof and upgraded its elevator in 2021. The Preston House is pet friendly and includes a storage room for bikes and luggage.
