Home Showcase: Beacon Hill townhouse with a whole lot of personality inside

A captivating sidestreet in the heart of Beacon Hill is at the top of many homebuyers’ wishlists.

There’s just something about those red brick sidewalks, lined with lanterns. Perched at the top of the hill, 8 Joy St. #1 is a thoroughly renovated townhouse in a two-unit development with a distinctive white brick facade and a whole lot of personality inside.

Where Beacon Hill condos tend to be on the smallish side, Unit 1 tops out at more than 1,800 square feet with three floors of living space, which includes three bedrooms and a fully finished lower level with a half-bath for maximum flexibility.

Crisp and modern, the renovation added white oak flooring, a gas fireplace in the living room, minimalist crown moulding that complements the space, and other contemporary touches throughout.

A must-see kitchen with professional-grade Thermador appliances, herringbone backsplash that extends to the ceiling and a waterfall island topped with quartz opens to the unit’s very own brick patio, a small but mighty moment of Zen in the city.

Upstairs, one bedroom overlooks Joy Street through oversized bay windows, while the primary suite — boasting built-in custom cabinetry and a luxurious bath — is tucked to the rear of the home, for a quiet retreat. There’s an additional third bedroom for guests or a home office.

And everything is nearby — shopping and dining on Charles Street, the Common, and multiple T stops.
