Open kitchen/living/dining on the first floor... with exposed bricks,original beams,fir floors,a wood burning Franklin Fireplace,and a very large coat/storage closet. On the second floor there is a good sized bedroom with adjacent dressing/small office space,and a full bath. There is a large walk in closet as well as a smaller closet on this level. Small private basement offers additional storage and a washer/dryer. The adjacent fenced-in yard is shared with the owner. This unique cottage,which has it's own private entrance,is quite hidden as it is not located directly on the street. It is accessed via a walkway off of Putnam Street,which is located off Common Street on the Training Field (aka Winthrop Square). 24 hour notice required for a showing. ABSOLUTELY NO PETS.
