Great Floorplan at Court Square Press

April 27, 2008 By Boston Real Estate Observer

Last weekend, we stopped by unit 306 at Court Square Press for an ad-hoc showing with a client. At that point, the unit had not yet officially gone into the MLS. It’s now officially on the market for sale. Unit 306 is a 1,129 square foot courtyard-facing unit that gets good sunlight throughout the day, and offers one of the best floorplans at Court Square Press.

Listed at $559,000 ($495 per square foot), Unit 306 boasts 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, an office space built into an old elevator shaft adjacent to one of the bedrooms (essentially making it a 2+), a high-end kitchen, and exposed brick and beam architecture. One deeded garage parking space is included, and HOA fees are $356 per month.

The concierge-served Court Square Press loft building sits in what we call “northern South Boston“, a part of the city that is seeing more development and attention over the past 8 years – there are some exciting things happening in the area in terms of further luxury residential buildout, more services and restaurants are in and coming, and Gillette is moving their headquarters across the street from Court Square Press.

Our Featured Open House will take place at Court Square Press (9 W. Broadway) on Sunday, April 27, 2008 from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM. Tell the listing agent that you read about the open house here at the Boston Condo Blog. Read more about Court Square Press history.

Dorchester Carruth Holds Grand Opening Party

March 8, 2008 By Boston Real Estate Observer

The Ashmont MBTA station and surrounding area is home to significant development and redevelopment these days, included in this is the mixed-use, for-sale and rental development at the Carruth, which overlooks the transit hub.

The Carruth, a Trinity Financial development, now has a model home open, and have priced their 1 through 2+ bedroom units from $269,000 to $429,000 (including parking). We received a tour of the construction site in late 2007 (see The Carruth Condo Development), and it’s great to see a transit oriented development, just south of the city, take shape.

A grand opening house party will be held Saturday and Sunday, March 8th and 9th, from 12 – 4PM each day. This will serve as our Featured Open House of the week. Please let Larry, and the whole team at the Carruth, know that you heard about the open house here on the Boston Condo Blog. Food and drinks (coffee) will be served at the event in conjunction with two of the commercial inhabitants of the building, Tavolo, and Flat Black Coffee.
