Property Description

This is a 2-level ONE PLUS BEDROOM home that is loaded with features. The majority of homes this size, at this price, pale in comparison. This is a value in any market. It's tucked away, two levels, and lives even larger than the 712 square feet. Laundry is located in the unit, and you have central A/C. It's fully painted with refinished floors and a newly renovated bathroom. The updated kitchen features stone counters, complementing a cute breakfast nook. 10 minutes to the Blue Line for an easy commute to downtown. Birria tacos at Jalisco are moments away. This is vibrant city living. This is East Boston. This home puts you right in the center of it, with less noise from the hustle and bustle as it's in the rear of the complex. New siding. New Windows. New roof. Nothing needed to fix and nothing to fear. Just a smart, flexible layout with additional space to double as office, studio, guest bed, or whatever your modern lifestyle demands. Come see why Eastie is a great value in Boston
