158 Kelton St

A single-story, masonry multi-unit building dating to 1930, this Allston property presents vintage apartment scale adapted for contemporary living. Units are primarily two-bedroom layouts with occasional third-room flex spaces created by generous foyers and high ceilings. Interior character combines original hardwood floors, woodwork and built-in cabinetry with incremental renovations: updated eat-in kitchens with stainless appliances, modernized bathrooms, and replacement windows. Exterior features include private porches, decks, and a modest front stoop that open to street-level sidewalks and tree-lined residential blocks. Common areas are limited but functional—basement storage and in-building laundry serve residents, while on-site parking is minimal and street parking predominates. The building’s short blocks lead directly to Green Line and bus routes, placing it within walking distance of shops, restaurants, and nearby university campuses. Pet policies and concierge-style services vary by unit owner; maintenance tends toward pragmatic upgrades rather than full-scale amenity investments. Overall the property reads as a well-maintained, value-oriented prewar walk-up that blends period details with practical modern updates.
