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?

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!
