16 Pasadena Road, Unit 3, DorchesterBoston, MA 02121Price: $549,000

A blue Victorian triple-decker with a red door sets the tone before you even step inside. Perched on the top floor of a tree-lined Pasadena Road, this sun-filled 3-bedroom, 2-bath home pairs the character of a classic Boston Victorian with the ease of modern condo living.Morning light fills the front-facing living room, highlighting dark hardwood floors and built-in bookcases. A true entryway with multiple closets provides a welcoming-and practical-arrival space, while the thoughtfully designed floor plan offers two generous bedrooms plus a flexible third bedroom ideal for a home office, nursery, guest room, or den. The fully applianced kitchen features sleek subway tile, and two modern full baths, central air, and in-unit laundry make everyday living easy.Storage is exceptional for city living. In addition to abundant interior closets, the unit includes dedicated basement storage-ideal for bikes, luggage, seasonal gear, and larger household items-as well as exclusive access to a full pull-down attic offering substantial additional storage and intriguing potential for future improvement or expansion, subject to applicable approvals and permitting.When the weather warms, step outside to the private side deck for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine, or enjoy the shared fenced backyard framed by stone walls and garden beds. Deeded off-street parking adds another increasingly rare Boston convenience.Converted to condos in 2021 and lightly lived in since, the home is move-in ready and part of a well-managed three-unit association with healthy reserves. Franklin Park, public transportation, Longwood Medical Area, and easy access to the South End and downtown Boston keep the city close at hand.Victorian character, top-floor privacy, private outdoor space, parking, exceptional storage, and modern systems-all in one beautifully livable home.
