About this home

A rare combination of space efficiency, flexibility, and privacy in the heart of the South End, this top-floor condo makes exceptional use of its 1,038 square feet, accommodating two bedrooms, a versatile den previously used as a third bedroom, two full bathrooms, a spacious living and dining area, and in-unit laundry—all on a single level. Thoughtful recent updates and quality finishes create a polished, move-in-ready living space. With 15 windows, abundant natural light, and Boston skyline views, the home feels bright and open throughout. Set at the corner of Massachusetts Avenue and Shawmut Avenue, the property is within easy reach of restaurants, shops, public transportation, Boston Medical Center, and numerous universities. Its flexible layout and strong rental history make it equally appealing to owner-occupants and investors. A versatile home with classic Boston brownstone character, offering everyday comfort and long-term value.

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.
