About this home

This two bedroom, 1 bathroom condominium home has perhaps one of the largest backyards in the entire South End! Play fetch with your dog, let the kids run free or have a BBQ and dine outside! The 50' deep backyard is unbelievable and offers a cobblestone walk, nice beds and plantings, privacy, lots of grass, great sun and of course a wooden storage shed. Located in a classic bow front Victorian row house on Chester Park close to public transportation and great South End restaurants. This bright and airy home features hardwood floors, a granite kitchen, ceramic tile bathroom, a separate entrance and in-unit washer/dryer. A wonderful opportunity, this won't last!
