Hot condo available in South End
File under things that are scorching hot: Current temps in the city and South End real estate listings.
We’re not sure where sellers are going or if everyone is just swapping brownstones this summer, but South End listings are popping up all over on some of the area’s most desirable streets and pocket neighborhoods.
The two-bedroom Unit 5 condo at 4 Worcester Square is a prime example of prime real estate. Housed in one of the South End’s quintessential brownstones across from the picturesque Worcester Square park with its landmark fountain, Unit 5 is a treat.
Bright, efficient and cleverly laid out, the condo packs a lot of punch in a hair under 1,000 square feet. A modern kitchen with plenty of storage and counter space, the cutest dining nook and a beautifully preserved period fireplace with cast iron insert make up the sunny, open living space. Decorative shelving and a breakfast bar make great use of every square foot.
Sunny windows warm up the master bedroom. The guest bedroom would make a terrific home office or nursery. An updated bathroom is surprisingly roomy and includes a walk-in shower, separate tub and modern fixtures.
Being on the top floor has one other, pretty substantial bonus: Access to a private roof deck, recently updated with composite Trex decking, with expansive views of the city and dining and entertaining space galore.
Central air, in case things get too scorching, and a deeded parking space, plus proximity to public transportation and some of the city’s trendiest restaurants and boutiques add to Unit 5’s desirability.
Open house hours are from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday.
The sale of the condo, priced at $995,000, is being handled by Ryan J. Glass at Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty, 617-721-2143.
