225 Lincoln Street

Description

225 Lincoln Street is a rare three-story, all-brick end-unit townhome in the heart of South End, set on a quiet, tree-lined street just two blocks from the light rail. It gives you the space, storage, and privacy that most South End condos can't touch, with three finished levels, three private bedroom suites, an attached garage, and a long list of recent updates that make it truly move-in ready. The main level centers on an open, light-filled great room that flows into a dedicated dining area framed by a wide cased opening. Rich hardwood floors run throughout, finished with crown molding, recessed lighting, and modern pendant fixtures, and windows on multiple walls pull in natural light all day. The kitchen is built for people who actually cook, with warm cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, a full stainless appliance package including a double wall oven and gas cooktop, a beverage fridge, and a Samsung Smart Refrigerator. An oversized granite island anchors the space with seating, and a designer geometric chandelier adds character overhead. The details set this kitchen apart: soft-close drawers and cabinets throughout, a hidden double trash bin, and a custom standalone pantry with movable drawers that adapts to whatever you need to store. A built-in window seat with shelving and a custom-designed cushion creates a sunny spot to sit, and a convenient guest half bath with its own window and pedestal sink sits nearby. All three bedrooms are true suites, each with its own private full bath, so guests, roommates, or family each get their own retreat. Every bedroom is finished with custom closets, and there's a separate custom closet reserved for the man of the house. The primary suite is the standout, generously sized with a tray ceiling, a statement light fixture, gleaming hardwood floors, and double doors, with room for a sitting area or home office. Its oversized walk-in closet is fitted with custom shelving, offering the kind of storage that's genuinely hard to find, and the en-suite bath feels like a spa with a dual granite vanity, a deep soaking tub set beneath a window, a separate glass-enclosed tile shower with a built-in niche, and tile flooring throughout. The two additional suites give you flexibility for guest rooms, a dedicated office, a gym, or a second lounge, each with its own attached bath and custom closet space. Behind the finishes, the home has been thoughtfully upgraded for easy, low-maintenance living with a new HVAC system, smart thermostats, and a Sonos sound system with indoor and outdoor speakers. The attached garage adds custom shelving and wall storage, there's room for two additional vehicles, and walkable side streets cover any overflow, a real advantage in a neighborhood where parking is usually the tradeoff. Out back, a private covered brick patio gives you a quiet place to relax, grill, or unwind after a day on the Rail Trail. You're two blocks from the LYNX Blue Line for a quick, car-free ride into Uptown, and the 3.5-mile Rail Trail connects you on foot or by bike to dozens of restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, boutiques, fitness studios, and public art. Craft beer favorites like Sycamore Brewing, Suffolk Punch, Triple C, and Wooden Robot are all within walking distance, along with dining and treats at Superica, Barcelona Wine Bar, Hawkers, and Jeni's Ice Cream. Atherton Mill puts retail like Anthropologie, Lululemon, Sephora, and West Elm a short stroll away, and a new light rail station near Publix and Sycamore is slated to open by the end of 2026, adding even more convenience right at your doorstep. This home is truly a gem in a prime location, the rare South End property that pairs genuine space and storage with true walk-to-everything living. Homes like this, all-brick, three suites, real parking, in this location, don't come along often.
