700 Harrison Avenue South End Condos

August 17, 2007 By

We had the pleasure of touring one of the latest condo developments nearing completion in the South End, 700 Harrison. The six-story development with 84-units sits on Harrison Avenue in the South End, in between ArtBlock Harrison (recently opened new condo development at 735 Harrison), and several buildings down from the new D4 Police Station. The new development at 700 Harrison gets great natural light, and offers solid views of Back Bay and the greater downtown area from its north, and northeast facing units. Construction is moving along on the development, and 700 Harrison has a tentative occupancy date of September 2007. A summary of the South End condo development at 700 Harrison, as well as exclusive photos, are below.

125 B Street Luxury Seaport District Lofts

August 14, 2007 By

We’ve had the pleasure of spending a fair amount of time lately at a renovated schoolhouse in Boston’s Seaport District, now known as the 125 B Street Lofts. The 150-year-old schoolhouse, steps away from the Red Line’s Broadway T-Stop, is a 16-unit luxury loft conversion that opened to residents in December of 2006.

There are currently 5 units remaining, all in the 1,100 square foot range, priced from $499,000 to $589,000 ($472 – $520 per square foot), all with a deeded parking space included in the adjacent parking lot. The units vary in price for reasons such as placement in the building, views, and inclusion of outdoor balcony space.

The developer definitely went all out with these units with high-end finishes, and the ceilings simply soar over your head, making the space feel even more expansive than it already is. A nice touch at 125 B Street was the units that have an office nook (with multiple windows) constructed in what was once the school’s elevator shaft – very cool.

Make a note that the units are listed as two-bedrooms, however, the walls are not built out for the second bedroom in most units – something that the developer could easily accommodate at the buyer’s discretion. All 5 remaining units come with two bathrooms. Units are wired for satellite TV, and Verizon phone and DSL (Fios is not yet available, and Comcast is not in the building).

Would we recommend this development over some of the other trendy Seaport District / South Boston condo developments clustered around the Broadway T-Stop (Macallen, Court Square Press, Allele, Lofts at 36 A, etc.), more than likely, yes. You’re slightly removed from the hustle and noise of Broadway and A Street in a superbly insulated building, and the space and craftsmanship are definitely top notch. It’s a standout winner for short to medium-term positive equity in what is quickly becoming the next South End of Boston.

Below is an exclusive Boston Condo Guy outdoor shot of the 125 B Street Lofts (you’ll be hard pressed to find another outdoor facade photo on the Internet at the moment), and a stock interior shot of the model unit. Please contact us for a showing, or to place an offer on any of the remaining units.

Tax-Free Shopping Weekend in Boston

August 11, 2007 By

If you don’t keep up with the Massachusetts Department of Revenue website, let this be your indication that it is tax-free weekend in Massachusetts!

On the weekend of August 12-13, 2007, Massachusetts will hold a “tax free holiday weekend,” where customers can avoid the 5 percent Massachusetts sales tax while shopping for some goods. Here are some general guidelines:

  • The Massachusetts 5 percent sales tax will be waived for most goods that cost $2,500 or less.
  • The sales tax is exempt for tangible personal property bought for personal use only.
  • Motor vehicles, Meals, gas, and tobacco products remain taxable.
  • Airline tickets and sporting events are considered services, and thus remain taxable.
  • Bundled goods — such as computer packages that include computer, monitor, and printer — only qualify for the tax exemption if the price of the entire bundle is less than $2,500.
  • Prior sales and layaway items do not qualify.
  • If an article of clothing exceeds $2,500, you receive a $175 deduction on the sales tax. For example, if you buy a dress for $3,000, you pay sales tax on $2,825.
  • For coupon items, the sales tax applies only if the post-deduction amount is more than $2,500. For coupons applied to total purchases, the discount is pro-rated for each item sold.
  • Internet orders paid for Aug. 12-13 are exempt.

You gotta love tax-free weekend in Boston. Boston Real Estate is always tax-free – this weekend, and every weekend, you can purchase a Boston Condo tax-free 🙂 Contact us for more details.
