About This Home

This is a condo. It's not like all the other condos. This is the condo you want. It’s the life you want. It’s the less than 10 minutes to the blue line, life. It’s the 5 minutes to Jalisco Taqueria and the best birria tacos north of Texas, life. It’s the Fri-Yay drinks at Rose until you stumble home, life. It’s the 4 minutes to Rino’s place to stuff yourself full of Lobster Ravioli, life. It’s the breakfast at Angela’s, Life. It’s the best NY-style pizza in Massachusetts at Kelly Square Pub, Life. This is life in vibrant East Boston. And it can all play out from your spacious 2-level townhouse at 278 Princeton. With 3 bedrooms all on the upper level, the layout is primo for today’s modern urban lifestyle that heavily relies on work-from-home. You don't need to see the cubicle any more than you have to. What's more: New siding, a new roof, new windows, beautiful hardwood floor, your own laundry room, and your own patio. This is the one. This is it. This is your life in East Boston.
