About this home

A rare opportunity to own in one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Boston at a very affordable price. There is nothing like this on historic Ashmont Hill. Nestled among estate-like properties, this fully renovated condo offers 3 beds, brand new bath, stainless and granite kitchen, fireplace, butler's pantry and unmatched original detail. This is a suburban setting hidden among the hustle of city life. Walking distance to Ashmont T and the new Ashmont Grille! (opening June 2005).
