Skip the shared hallways and the shared front door. This Diamond District townhouse has its own entrance on Ocean Avenue, its own garage, its own driveway and its own deck, so it lives like a single-family home with the ease of condo ownership. The main level flows from a fireplace living room, with a slider out to the deck, into an open dining area and a kitchen with gray shaker cabinets, stainless appliances, a gas range and a peninsula made for morning coffee and weeknight cooking. Upstairs, two bedrooms, a full bath and a laundry closet keep daily life on one floor. Down at garage level, a finished recreation room is ready to become your home office, gym, media room or guest space, with a storage room beside it. Gas heat and air conditioning keep it comfortable year-round. The association handles the master insurance, snow removal and landscaping, so your weekends stay yours. Pets are welcome with Board approval. The location does the rest. You're in Lynn's Diamond Historic District, steps from the beaches and the Lynn Shore Drive esplanade, right by the Swampscott line, with the commuter rail under a mile away for a quick ride into North Station. Walk to coffee, dinner and the water, then come home to a door that's just yours.
