About this home
Are you looking for a place in Back Bay to escape to on weekends, or a nice spot to crash when working late in Boston? Do you prefer to build equity during years spent in graduate school, instead of waste money on expensive rent payments? Are you an investor looking for the next addition to your portfolio, or someone who just wants an affordable place to call home in one of the city's most desired locations? This is your opportunity to purchase a turn-key unit in the beloved Saint Botolph neighborhood, a coveted enclave with quaint residential charm nestled between Back Bay and the South End. Enjoy a wide array of restaurants within blocks, easy access to the shops at the Prudential Center, Lifetime Fitness, both Orange and Green Line T stations, and the Southwest Corridor Park. Freshly painted and move-in ready, with high ceilings, large windows, plantation shutters, a queen-sized bedroom, updated kitchen and bath and a low condo fee that includes heat and hot water. Don't miss it!
