The exterior of this Beacon Hill building showcases its past, but you’d never guess it was a 19th-century schoolhouse just by looking at the interior of this listing.
Unit 3A at 65 Anderson St. honors its history from the jump — an antique map of Boston takes up an entire wall of the living room — but embraces modern design. Large windows in the living room offer views of a string of brownstones and the Charles River, French doors open to a private balcony, and a gas fireplace provides a place to ward off the winter chill. Contemporary lighting on wires crisscrosses the space just belong the cathedral ceiling.
The Moran Group of Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty has listed the corner condo for $1,575,000. Measuring 1,290 square feet, the duplex includes two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and one half bathroom. The Pinckney Place building, which dates to 1824, was converted in 1984.
Stainless-steel appliances and gray, glass door cabinetry bump up the style in the kitchen, and the dining room includes a contemporary light fixture — an indicator of what’s to come.
The most modern rooms in the home are upstairs, where the bedroom ceilings angle dramatically and the exposed beams are painted white. In one bedroom, four windows of ascending size take up an entire wall. The master has windows that are low to the floor, a walk-in closet, attic storage, and an en-suite bath.
Dark oak floors offers a pleasing contrast to the light neutrals found throughout the unit.
The sale will come with one onsite parking spot.
