Property Description

Is this it? Could it be? It’s not like the others. And it’s definitely not like anything else in East Boston at this price. The majority of homes this size are $700 a foot or more! We aren't even breaking $650 a foot! VALUE VALUE VALUE. The condo? It's tucked away, two levels, and lives larger than the 712 square feet. The bonus? It's a one-bedroom that lives like two. It’s 10 minutes to the Blue Line for the easiest commute in the entire city. Birria-taco at Jalisco are mere moments away. This is vibrant city living. This is East Boston — and the cutie rear unit at 278 Princeton puts you right in the center of it, with less noise from the hustle and bustle. Fresh siding. New Windows. New roof. Updated kitchen + bath. Central A/C. Hardwood floors. Fresh paint. Nothing to fix, nothing to fear. Just a smart, flexible layout with additional space to double as office, studio, guest bed, or whatever your modern lifestyle demands. Your own space. Your own Eastie chapter. Yup.
