About this home

Lovely 2 bedroom condo next to Dorchester's Polish Triangle and South Boston. The unit has a wonderful flow, with an open floor plan living and dining area, large sun room, eat-in kitchen and two good sized bedrooms. Beautiful dark wood floors, wood trimming and lots of character throughout. Many windows invite lots of natural light. Laundry hookups and extra storage in the basement. Also included are two deeded parking spots behind the building and plenty of room for guest parking as needed. Located in one of Dorchester's nicest neighborhoods, the unit is conveniently located near the JFK/UMass Red Line T station, several bus lines, and the entrance to I-93, I-90. Easy access to downtown and just a short walk to the beach. Close by to many restaurants and shops.
