A blue Victorian triple-decker with a red door announces the address before a buyer ever steps inside…Morning sun spills across the living room floor first, catching the bookcases and warming the dark hardwoods before the day gets going.This top-floor unit on tree-lined Pasadena occupies the third story of quaint condo building, its 100 year-old nod to the Queen Anne style is the first hint of the character waiting inside. Converted to condos in 2021 and lightly lived in since, the layout unfolds naturally: a true entranceway with multiple closets catches all your belongings and stores them away. A light-filled front-facing living room leads down a long hall to a fully applianced kitchen finished in sleek subway tile, while two generous bedrooms and a nursery or office-sized third leave room for work, rest, or whatever the day calls for. Two modern full bathrooms round out the private spaces. Evenings move outside, to a side deck for a quiet glass of wine, or maybe to the shared backyard, framed by a stone wall and flower beds, made for a fall BBQ with neighbors. Private, easy parking waits in the driveway, and Franklin Park, quick access into South Boston and the South End, and a 15 minute drive to the Longwood Medical Area keep the rest of the city close at hand. Move-in ready, with healthy reserves and a well-managed HOA behind it, the home asks for nothing but a buyer ready to live in it. 16 Pasadena Road stands as a rare blend of Victorian character and modern condo living.
