About 278 Virginia Place

Beautifully expanded and remodeled in 2018, this exceptional home blends thoughtful design with modern comfort. The residence was expanded by more than 1,250 square feet to create a spacious four-bedroom, three-bathroom layout featuring two primary suites and oak hardwood flooring throughout. The main level offers one primary suite, two additional bedrooms, and bathrooms appointed with dual vanities. An oversized laundry room with abundant storage adds everyday convenience. Upstairs, the second primary suite serves as a private retreat, complete with a walk-in closet, soaking tub, and a balcony overlooking the expansive backyard. Designed for both functionality and style, the upgraded kitchen showcases Calcita Azul custom-finish quartzite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a wine refrigerator. The light-filled living area features vaulted ceilings with two skylights and a wood-burning fireplace with a custom mantel. Bi-fold doors in the dining area create seamless indoor-outdoor flow to the patio and backyard. Situated on a generous 7,720-square-foot lot, the backyard is ideal for entertaining with a spacious patio, built-in barbecue, and outdoor fireplace. Additional highlights include a two-car garage with epoxy flooring, built-in storage cabinetry, a custom workbench, and a utility sink. Ideally located within walking distance to the Newport Back Bay and just moments from the dining and shopping along 17th Street, this home offers the perfect blend of comfort, style, and convenience.
