About This Home

As of December 2013

Classic South End Brownstone with original turn of the century details and a wonderful open layout. If you love lots of sun this is the condo for you...6 windows in total including beautiful bow fronts. The granite and stainless kitchen opens to a roomy dining area then flows into the living room. The bedroom and bathroom are large by city condo standards. There's a huge 10x15 private deck overlooking the community gardens. It's like having an additional living room, great for entertaining and enjoying the New England fall weather. Other features include: hardwood floors throughout, in unit washer/dryer and central A/C. This unit has great bones...these Brownstones were built to last. The South End continues to be one of the most sought after neighborhoods in Boston and for good reason.
