Just a stone's throw from Constitution Beach, East Boston Greenway, Day Square. Features a totally renovated island-kitchen w/pantry, dining room, office, spacious living room. All-new electrical, plumbing, appliances, but so much original charm & detail remains for the best of both worlds. Extra space in basement for gym or crafts. Large fenced-in yard; off-street parking, and plenty of on-street parking. Laundry in unit. Window AC included. Between Wood Island & Orient Heights (blue line T), so commute to downtown Boston is a breeze. So spectacular, was recently featured in Boston Globe Magazine.
