4 Ada # 3

The ceiling lifts away after you ascend the private stairwell and step into the main living area. With stained exposed wood beams crossing a vaulted, sunrise skylight accented cathedral ceiling, the architectural features, including an exposed, original brick firewall that stands over 10' tall, exhibit why unit 3 at 4 Ada is for sure NOT your average 2 bed, 1.5 bath Roslindale condo! ................ Morning is when top floor home is at its best, light pouring through the skylights and onto the white oak floor. The kitchen glistens with granite counters, stainless appliances, a gas range. However, the peninsula bar isn't just for breakfast anymore; it's the perfect place to entertain while you cook or just nosh with guests.Both bedrooms bookend the hallway where the stairs, the main living area, and the main bathroom converge. Retiled with a soft terracotta in 2019, the full bath, with more exposed brick accents, has it both ways: a skylit jetted soaking tub and a glass and tile shower. The half bath, off the main living area, nicely doubles as the laundry room..............A private back stair off the kitchen drops two flights to the tree canopied shared grill and patio, the parking, and the basement for storage and systems. 2 exclusive-use spaces sit in a private paved lot with room for guests. Plenty of street parking too for guests. The building and the unit are in excellent condition and the HOA is healthy and active. Some key recent updates to save new owners from near future headaches............Roslindale Village is just down the street and that proximity is value added! Roslindale Village is alive and buzzing. Dozens of independent small businesses bring energy and life to Rozzie Square. Coffee at Square Root or Russ and Mimi's, pastries and bread at Fornax, ice cream at Sweeties, so many little hidden gems, including a hidden courtyard where the patios from many local spots converge. Its farmers market, Boston's longest running, breathes life into the square every Saturday Summer through Fall, with live music, lots of fun choices for food and crafts; a big community anchor. Just across Washington Street, the revitalized Substation keeps community events running all year round. The Needham commuter line stops in the Square, and buses run to Forest Hills all day long......This unit represents an excellent opportunity to own a well cared for and architecturally exciting condominium in the center of one of Boston's most underrated neighborhoods.
