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.

I also like the condos over at 125 B Street. Nicely laid out, good finishes, and some style.
The 125 B Street units are slightly larger, and have higher ceilings, but the two remaining units at 125 B Street are at a completely different price point. 253 E Street has more “classic” finishes, exceptional crown molding detail for instance, whereas 125 B Street is more of a loft feel, very clean.
I think the moldings are overdone in the rooms shown above. They’re out of scale relative to the size of the (small) rooms an not at all in character with exterior of the building. They almost look like a cartoon of a period style.
Agreed. The contrast just looks out of place.
I’m looking for a contractor named Stuart Mullally. Does anyone know how to reach him?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
I realize this is about 8 years to late but here’s his #. 617-233-4098. (His number is on google so I don’t feel bad sharing it.) I am curious, what did you need him for? He’s putting up a property behind my house and had never contacted me to let me know about major changes. I have heard he is nice enough though, and clearly an accomplished developer.
