North End condo is bright, beautiful

This top-floor duplex in the North End has lots of Old World charm with a sophisticated, updated interior.

The two-bedroom condo at 22 Cooper St., unit 5, on the market for $585,000, is in a typical turn-of-the-century North End brick rowhouse and was converted to condos in 1987.

In 2007, unit 5 underwent a major renovation with a new kitchen and bathroom as well as a new central heating and air conditioning system with a heat pump put on top of a redone rubber roof.

It's a three-flight walk up to the unit, and the carpeted stairs with beadboard paneling could use some freshening up.

Unit 5 opens into a living room with 12-foot ceilings with a designer wrought-iron chandelier and refinished hardwood floors. There are two windows and against the back wall is a tall custom-built bookcase.

Adjacent is the kitchen, which has 18-foot ceilings and a spiral staircase up to the second floor. There's a built-in kitchen table between two windows that gets light from an interior well and a wrought-iron chandelier.

The kitchen was redone in 2007 with ceramic tile floors and white Thomasville cabinets. There's ivory beauty granite counters with bullnose edges and a tumbled marble back-splash. Stainless-steel appliances include a Maytag refrigerator and GE electric stove with a matching microwave above.

There's a closet opposite the working kitchen that holds a stacked Kenmore washer and dryer.

Off the kitchen is the unit's full bathroom with beige marble floors and marble tile surround for a tub and shower. There's a cultured-marble-topped antique vanity. And just outside the bathroom sits a linen closet.

The second bedroom is at the rear of the floor and it has hardwood floors and a good-sized closet.

The steel spiral staircase in the kitchen leads up to a loft master bedroom, with transom windows near the top of the ceiling. The master bedroom has a window overlooking an interior well, oak floors and a good-sized walk-in closet.

The unit's $205 monthly condo fee includes professional management. The unit does not come with a parking space, and a residential permit is required for street parking.
