Court Square Press South Boston Condo Open House

November 25, 2007 By Boston Real Estate Observer

Our Featured Open House of the week has found one of the best units at the Court Square Press building in South Boston.

The pickings for open houses, given the Holiday weekend, are rather slim, but if you have not already seen this unit at the 130-unit luxury development in South Boston, it’s worth a look.

Unit 416, priced currently at $539,000 after 2 price reductions, is 936 square feet and is on the 4th floor, with excellent views and light, has the capability of being converted from a one-bedroom into a two-bedroom loft (optional floor plan included). High-end finishes through the kitchen, and two bathrooms. The exposed brick and beam give this unit character, and the amenities of the Court Square Press development (as well as the neighboring Macallen Building to which owners have access) boast a full fitness center, lap pool, outdoor grills, private screen room with kitchen and bath, 24-hour concierge, and deeded garage parking valued in the neighborhood of $50,000.

November 18, 2007 By Boston Real Estate Observer

Developers are constantly trying to push through barriers, of all different kinds, and The Modern South End, a new 25-unit boutique development on the west side of the South End, has placed a high-end boutique development in an area that will definitely see further development in the future.

New construction, with Dennis Duffy interiors, common roof deck, at quite reasonable prices (from $450 – $610 per square foot), is worth a look.

Parking is available in the building, however, it is not always included in the listing price (depending on the unit), and can be purchased for $29,000 to $49,000.

The Modern, at 255 Northampton Street, Open House will take place on Sunday, November 18, 2007, from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM. For further information on the development, feel free to use the Contact Us link at the top of this page.

Lofts at 36 A South Boston Open House

November 11, 2007 By Boston Real Estate Observer

Our Featured Open House of the week is taking place at the Lofts at 36 A, a 26-unit luxury loft new construction in northern South Boston. This condo development is nestled in probably the hottest few blocks of Boston real estate, among Court Square Press, the new Macallen, and the soon to be Allele Boston. We’ve called the Lofts at 36 A out as being part of the Three South Boston Amigos.

According to the Boston MLS, 3 units remain at the Lofts at 36 A listed at $659K, which are all considered two-bedroom, two-bathroom units with over 1,200 square feet of living space, and the most exquisite stained and scored concrete floors in the city. Most units come configurable with regard to the actual buildout of a second bedroom. Heated garage parking is included, and a common / private roof deck setup offer great views of the city.

Finishes in this development are top notch, and the bathrooms, you have to see them to believe them. The open house will take place at 36 A Street on Sunday, November 11, 2007 from Noon until 2pm. Please let Beth Dailey, the exclusive listing agent, know that you heard about this open house on the Boston Condo Blog.

Penny Savings Bank Featured Open House

November 4, 2007 By Boston Real Estate Observer

The 23-unique boutique luxury condo development in the former Penny Savings Bank is our Featured Open House of the week. Earlier this year, The pre-war bank in Boston’s South End was completely renovated and a glass enclosure was added to the top of the original structure to create what is now The Residences at Penny Savings Bank.

The white marble and granite exterior of the Bank offers various layouts from studios (roughly 800 square feet and an HOA fee of $239) to two-bedroom two-bathroom condos (roughly 1,600 square feet and an HOA fee of $494). Living areas offer finished concrete floors (perhaps not as nice as our favorites stained and scored floors at the Lofts at 36 A) or walnut hardwood floors. All kitchens feature Viking and Best appointments. The master baths have limestone floors and “river rock” shower enclosures. Some units include private terraces or roof decks. Parking is available in the onsite underground garage for an additional charge.

Note that with a new marketing agent taking over the property, the price range for units has been slightly updated, moving the low-end down from $665,000 to $595,000 ($730 per square foot).

The Penny Savings Bank joins the recently opened D4 Police Station Condo Development as a true landmark property in Boston real estate. Along Washington Street, the ground floor of the development will house two commercial units, the banQ Restaurant, as well as a Citibank branch.

Remember that Daylight Saving Time has ended today, so turn your clocks back before heading out to see these units. The Open House will take place on Sunday, November 4, 2007 from 2 – 4pm at 30 Union Park Street in Boston’s South End (northeast corner of Washington and Union Park).

D4 Police Station Condos Featured Open House

October 14, 2007 By Boston Real Estate Observer

As we recently reported the D4 Condos located at 7 Warren Avenue in the South End have received their Certificate of Occupancy, and they are celebrating by holding our Featured Open House of the week.

The D4 team have molded the old and the new, restoring one of the landmark properties of the South End. The former U-shaped police station was fitted with a glass and steel enclosure during redevelopment along Gray Street (picture immediately below), in order to create an enclosed Winter Garden and exquisite lobby area, which will have greenery climbing the walls.

Philippe Starck, and his Yoo Ltd. team, played a critical role in the design of the redevelopment efforts, from the one-way mirrored windows overlooking the courtyard (a play on the police station interrogation room theme) to the sleek and bold interiors.

~~Eight~~ Seven condos remain for sale at the development ranging in size from 798 to 3,571 square feet, and in price from $669,000 to $3,200,000.

D4, aside from standing for the former District 4 Boston Police Station, means Design, Detail, Drama, and Destination as it relates to the new condo development. The exclusive photos below display the completed redevelopment of the former D4 Police Station on Warren Avenue (the condo development), and the new D4 Police Station on Harrison Avenue (the actual new police station).

The D4 Condo Open House, located at 7 Warren Avenue will take place Sunday, October 14, 2007 from Noon to 4:00 PM. Please let the Listing Agent know that Boston Condo Guy sent you. If you would like Buyer representation on the purchase of one of the 8 7 remaining units, please contact us.

Meads of Commonwealth Open House

September 23, 2007 By Boston Real Estate Observer

After moving to a new listing brokerage, the Meads of Commonwealth, 13 luxurious and unique units in Back Bay have a renewed push, and some slightly lower prices (i.e. the penthouse unit was dropped from $6.2 million to $5.5 million), the development is our Featured Open House of the week.

9 units remain at the Meads, which was completed in 2007. Residences are priced between $1,875,000 and $5,500,000, and include at least one garage parking space under the development, private and direct elevator access, and many other amenities.

Based on our many Meads of Commonwealth Blog Posts, you can tell we think the units are exquisite, and the amenities are almost unmatched. The Meads combine class and style in units that have excellent flow. Aside from the penthouse unit that has over 2,000 square feet of outdoor space, the other units would be better served by having some of their own, but soaring ceilings and windows to match provide superb light otherwise.

The Open House, located at 413 – 415 Commonwealth Avenue will take place Sunday, September 23, 2007 from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM. Please tell them that Boston Condo Guy sent you, and after you return, drop a comment on this blog post to let everyone know your thoughts on the Meads. If you fall in love and would like to write an Offer, please contact us.
