Cozy and chic in North End condo

This charming brick-and-beam condo sits on a quiet street at the edge of the North End just two blocks from the waterfront.

The two-bedroom unit at 108 Fulton St., part of a five-unit building, had a major makeover in 2008 including a renovated kitchen and two redone bathrooms. The current owners have added halogen track lighting and overhead fans in most rooms.

The brick, former warehouse building built in 1900 was converted to condos in 1979, keeping its original industrial wood front door. Carpeted hardwood stairs lead up to the units.

Unit 2 opens into a hallway with a clothes closet and to the right sits a large open kitchen/dining/living area with wood-beam ceilings, brick walls and oak floors.

The halogen-lit kitchen was completely redone six years ago with cherrywood cabinets, many with glass fronts, a stainless-steel double sink, granite countertops with black tile backsplash, and an island with a breakfast bar that seats three. High-end stainless steel appliances include a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Thermador gas stove and an Asko dishwasher.

The dining/living area has more halogen track lighting and an overhead fan along with two windows.

Behind the dining room is a small bedroom, currently used as a home office, that has a window but no closet.

Off the kitchen sits a full ceramic-tile bath with a pedestal sink and a tiled walk-in shower with a glass door and marble bench. A closet in this room holds a stacked Kenmore washer and dryer.

At the end of a long hallway is a good-sized master bedroom suite. The bedroom has two windows, hardwood floors, halogen lighting and a ceiling fan. Theres an en-suite bathroom with white Carrara marble floors and walls around a whirlpool tub. Theres also two pedestal sinks. Adjacent is a large walk-in closet with built-in wardrobe storage.

Theres additional storage in a private closet in the basement.
