Home of the week: Open concept Dorchester condo close to the Red Line
With its mansard roof and the lines and paint scheme of a Painted Lady Victorian, this four-unit condo building in Andrew Square stands out in a neighborhood of multifamily homes.
With its mansard roof and the lines and paint scheme of a Painted Lady Victorian, this four-unit condo building in Andrew Square stands out in a neighborhood of multifamilies.
Access to this first-floor unit is off a grand entryway. The unit’s main door opens directly into a living room with an airy and comfortable vibe, thanks to a 10-foot ceiling, crown molding, and a gas fireplace with a white-marble mantel.
The living room is part of an open layout that stations the kitchen and dining area in the back of the unit. There is plenty of elbow room in the kitchen space, where the counters are granite, the appliances are high-end stainless steel (including the gas stove), and the ample cabinetry is an elegantly modern espresso color. The kitchen also has a rectangular prep island, also topped by granite, with a wine cooler and space for two to sit and enjoy a fine vintage. Sliders lead to a good-size private deck.

See inside 5A Mount Vernon St., Unit 1, Dorchester:
The flooring throughout the condo is a light-blond bamboo. There is a half bath off the living room.
A wide set of stairs leads to the unit’s bedrooms, below the main level. Directly ahead is a full bath clad in glass tile and marble. The unit has two bedrooms, and the master, to the right of the stairs, is a little bit bigger, with an alcove large enough for a chair and small table alongside the bed. The closets in both bedrooms are large enough to house current clothing and fashion mistakes. The master has two closets; the other bedroom three.
The unit has central air conditioning, a wash and dryer, private storage, and a single parking space in the rear. The home is within walking distance to JFK/UMass Station on the Red Line and less than a mile from Carson Beach.
Ken Sazama of Sazama Real Estate in Jamaica Plain is the listing broker. An offer with contingencies has been accepted on this property, but it is still being marketed.
