Our Featured Open House of the week will take place at 253 E Street, which we covered yesterday, as perhaps the best true two-bedroom condos on the market in South Boston right now (see Best 2 Bedroom South Boston Condos). The units are being marketed by The Terrier Group, a brokerage specializing in South Boston property. Stop in to see the high-end finishes on on Sunday, January 27, 2008 from 12:30 PM to 2:00 PM.

While you are out and about, we suggest that you stop into the renovated schoolhouse at 125 B Street, several blocks away from 253 E Street. 125 B Street (see 125 B Street on the Boston Condo Blog) is a recently converted condo development, featuring soaring ceilings and exposed brick. 2 units remain in the development, both listed at a little over $500K. The open house at 125 B Street takes place on Sunday, January 27, 2008 from 1:30 PM to 3:00 PM.

As discussed in recent comments on the blog, these developments are quite unique, 253 E Street being more of your classic condo with well-appointed detail, and 125 B Street being more the loft style condo with exposed brick and high ceilings.  Both are well done, and worth a look.

Buyers of Boston Real Estate are astute, and they’re always on the lookout for the cream of the market, at a reasonable price. Sometimes, this can be a tough combination to find, but a new 3-unit total renovation in South Boston at 253 E Street delivers quite nicely.

The penthouse unit hit the market in mid November 2007, and sold quickly for $435,000, at above asking price. The finishes and craftsmanship are stellar, and the in-unit laundry, roof deck, and Brazilian cherry floors didn’t hurt.

So, what’s left you ask? The Terrier Group, a South Boston based real estate brokerage, is marketing the remaining two units at 253 E Street that remain, priced at $379K and $389K (both right around $400 per square foot). These are two-bedroom one and a half bathroom units, with 900+ square feet, and essentially, contain all the perks you are looking for. The units were remodeled with Brazilian cherry floors, gas fireplaces for those cold Boston nights we are coming to know and love, central air conditioning for when the temperatures turn around for the summer, granite countertops, new stainless steel appliances, custom doors and exquisite crown molding, surround sound, ample closet space, tumbled marble baths with a Jacuzzi tub and a stand-up tile shower, mahogany deck (outdoor space), in-unit laundry, and private storage. On-street parking is available for neighborhood residents.

253 E Street is the work of developer Stuart Mullally, who has done many South Boston conversions, his most recent project being 474 East 4th Street.

HOA fees at 253 E Street are quite low at roughly $130, which includes water, sewer, and master insurance. Stop in and see the gleaming hardwood floors at the open house for the two remaining units, this weekend, on Sunday, January 27, 2008 from 12:30 PM to 2:00 PM.
