Finish your Southie masterpiec­e

- By MIRIAM SCHWARTZ

Even in South Boston’s red-hot real estate market, luxury developmen­ts that pay special attention to finishing touches are rare.

But the new constructi­on at 654 East 7th St. has them to spare. Unit 2, on the developmen­t’s first floor, is a stunning, light-filled condo that’s open, inviting and thoughtful­ly appointed with unique details buyers won’t find anywhere else.

Located in the heart of South Boston and just a few blocks away from the beach and walkway that lead to Castle Island, the developmen­t is also close to multiple bus lines, with easy access to the T, commuter rail and Logan Internatio­nal Airport. Just off Summer Street, the condos are a short ride from the burgeoning Seaport District.

At 1,226 square feet, you’ll get a ton of space in Unit 2, especially in the open-concept living and dining area, accented by a fireplace beautifull­y ensconced in a tiled wall, red oak hardwood floors, and giant windows that are nearly floor-to-ceiling length overlookin­g the deck. Yes, that’s a private, spacious rear deck overlookin­g the unit’s covered offstreet parking spot, another rarity.

The kitchen’s details are especially striking — white shakerstyl­e 42-inch cabinets, quartz countertop­s in a dreamy white and gray, modern subway tile backsplash and high-end Bosch appliances.

In the master bathroom, you’ll find Italian Carrara wall and floor tiles, a giant glassed-in shower and heated floors. The guest bathroom features a soaking tub and the same heated flooring.

The master bedroom is 180 square feet, and the unit’s second bedroom easily fits a queen size bed. In the bedrooms and throughout the home, there is closet space galore, with built-in shelving.

Brushed nickel hardware, a lighting allowance and built-in speakers are just a few more special details curated by the building’s developer. See it this Sunday during open house hours from 1 to 2:30 p.m.

The sale of the home, listed at $899,000, is being handled by Jack Conway Cityside agent Tia Zaferakis, 617-699-6268.
