This charming 2,000 sq ft apartment on two floors, is located on a tiny, quiet dead-end street, is part of a historic 1892 home, nestled close to both Massachusetts Bay and Dorchester's vibrant downtown. Easily walk to the Shawmut Red Line Station, admiring the old Boston mansions along the way, or stroll to the Fields Corner Red Line Station, also roughly half a mile away. You’ll find an abundance of dining, shopping, and area attractions within walking distance, including Lambert's Rainbow Market, a retro 1950s genuine untouched supermarket.

Boasting brand-new renovations and pristine living quarters, this lovely apartment will truly fulfill all your needs and then some. The huge, third-level loft houses a well-equipped kitchen, a private washer/dryer, a full bathroom, and a light-filled living room with views of downtown Boston close by. Sit and unwind here while tuning into a movie on the large TV. Or, cook with stainless steel appliances and ample meal prep space in the kitchen.

On the main (second) level of the apartment, you will discover three airy bedrooms, all equipped with extra-large TVs, work desks, and mini fridges. If you're working remotely, you'll appreciate the private workspaces and the individual mini fridges, which ensure that you can keep your favorite drinks close. The primary en suite bathroom on this level is luxurious, with its dual sinks, walk-in glass shower, and inviting Jacuzzi tub.
