The expansive living space might be called “loft like” if the ceiling were higher; it’s got an office nook with a built-in desk under the stairs. The door leads out to a common courtyard, which beats the sidewalk or an interior hallway.

The kitchen is nice, with a butcher-block-topped island, a large pantry (which sits across from a half bath), a Wolf stove, and a glass door leading to the patio.

The condo’s two bedrooms, both on the second level, are good-sized with ample closet space. The wooden-ceilinged master bedroom has a walk-in, as well as an en suite bath with double sinks and a large glass-walled shower.

There’s a washer-dryer up there, as well as a second full bath.

There aren’t a ton of windows, so the words “light-flooded” may not apply. The glass door in the living room will help there — though both that and the window open onto the aforementioned shared courtyard.

It should be noted that the lower level of the duplex appears to be located below grade, in what is technically the cellar.

Listed by Maryanne Farrell and Debra Bondy of Compass, the unit is asking $2.275 million, which comes to over $1,300 a square foot. On top of that there’s $968 a month in maintenance and $305 in taxes to consider.

Think they’re aiming high, or will a buyer step up at that price? Like the unit?
