Convenient access to Charlestown's waterfront, downtown Boston, public transportation, shops and restaurants. The property features central air, a driveway for off street parking, yard and gardening opportunity.

A rare chance to re-imagine and restore of piece of Boston history in one of its historic neighborhoods.
