We are pleased to present the opportunity to acquire an extremely rare brownstone asset in Boston’s highly coveted South End neighborhood.

The units range from studio through two bedroom units, and the asset improved by two private off-street parking spaces in the rear of the building. Although currently operating as a multifamily rental building, all 7 units at the property are individually deeded as condominiums, allowing investors or owner occupiers the benefit of optionality.
