This truly unique, oversized 2 bed, 2.5 bath home offers exceptional scale, flexibility, natural light, and amenities rarely found in a South Boston two-bedroom. Perfectly positioned to enjoy the best of both the east and west sides, the home offers an abundance of space and thoughtful design throughout. Expansive bay windows flood the home with natural light, while soaring ceilings, hardwood floors, central A/C, and a gas fireplace create an inviting living space.

Approximately 700 square feet of additional bonus space below provides an incredible extension of the home, featuring an additional half bath, space for a gym, office nook, media room, and giant storage room—the ultimate setup for entertaining, working from home, or relaxing.

What do these numbers mean?

DESE accountability percentiles (1–99) compare schools administering similar assessments, using up to two years of indicators. These are not test scores out of 100 or GreatSchools 1–10 ratings. Progress toward targets is a separate state measure. Consider programs, support services and your child’s needs as well.

School names link to available school or district websites.
