From the ground floor to the fourth, this three-year young South Boston townhome makes use of every inch to create a comfortable and welcoming environment. It also has one particular envy-inducing perk for South Boston: An attached one car garage that can easily fit a large SUV.

But let’s focus on the living space. The first floor has an en suite bedroom, which could be a guest space. But it could also be a truly private master suite, as it has two large closets, a door leading to small concrete patio, and a full bath with a deep whirlpool tub and a shower head.

This South Boston townhome has plenty to offer

A South Boston townhome with views, garage, and warmth

A broad stairwell leads to the second floor. That’s where, with its open floor plan, the living takes place. The first space is set aside for the dining area large enough to throw a 12-person dinner party. Adjacent to that is a set of doors leading to a narrow, rectangular deck.

In the kitchen area, a double sink sits in a large rectangular island topped by granite with built-in shelving. And the stainless steel gas stove is flanked both by more counter space and by dark colored cabinetry.

A gas fireplace with a white wooden mantel highlights the living room, where a large sectional couch now occupies the opposite end of the room, which draws natural light from two banks of windows. Flooring is planked Brazilian cherry with slabs of natural maple highlights. Ceiling heights are nine feet. There is a half-bath. There are recessed lights across the entire floor.

The third floor is for resting — and here are the final two bedrooms. The second en suite master bedroom has a sizable sleeping space, a showered bath, and a deep walk-in closet. French doors connect to the private deck.

The final bedroom, now used as a nursery, currently fits a small futon and crib and has its own walk-in closet. The family bath has a whirlpool tub and shower along with a double vanity.

In the hallway between the bedrooms is a corkscrew stairwell with planks of oak that leads to a large metal hatch. The private deck runs the full length of the house and has views of downtown Boston.

Space-saving pocket doors are used throughout the interior and the bedrooms have tray ceilings that provide gentle light.

Listing broker Frank Celeste of Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty in Boston is holding an open house today from 2 to 3:30 p.m.
