About this home

A rare combination of space efficiency, flexibility, and privacy in the heart of the South End, this top-floor condo makes exceptional use of its 1,038 square feet, accommodating two bedrooms, a versatile den previously used as a third bedroom, two full bathrooms, a spacious living and dining area, and in-unit laundry—all on a single level. Thoughtful recent updates and quality finishes create a polished, move-in-ready living space. With 15 windows, abundant natural light, and Boston skyline views, the home feels bright and open throughout. Set at the corner of Massachusetts Avenue and Shawmut Avenue, the property is within easy reach of restaurants, shops, public transportation, Boston Medical Center, and numerous universities. Its flexible layout and strong rental history make it equally appealing to owner-occupants and investors. A versatile home with classic Boston brownstone character, offering everyday comfort and long-term value.
