55 Monmouth Street in East Boston, a beautifully renovated 1871 home, is now priced at $449,000 (down from the original asking price of $489,000). With over 2,000 square feet of living space, this well-appointed Eagle Hill neighborhood home is one of a kind.

An open house will take place on Sunday, August 12, 2007 from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM, tell the showing agent that Boston Condo Guy sent you.

A small contingent of up and coming East Boston developers has taken an 1871 East Boston Victorian single-family residence, and completely renovated it into the high-end grand home that it was meant to be. Work started earlier this year on renovation, and after the application of meticulous craftsmanship and ingenuity, the home was recently placed on the market for sale at $489,000.

55 Monmouth Street in East Boston is approximately 1,900 square feet, and offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms, and all of the modern amenities for which a discerning buyer searches. With the Bosch equipped kitchen (including separate wine refrigerator), 12-foot ceilings and stunning crown molding work (original to the home, and hand carved), built in audio and Internet capabilities, refinished original kitchen hardwood flooring (note below picture with exceptional details), brand-new deck overlooking a large backyard, high-end security system, and marble bathroom with radiant heating, this home delivers modern class and style.

East Boston is quickly becoming known as the new hot neighborhood in the City of Boston – and is slated for such developments as East Pier. Long kept a secret because of its location across Boston Harbor, the area is fast becoming a popular neighborhood for artists, designers, and professionals.

We we’re really happy that so many original details of the home could be restored, from the crown molding to the kitchen floors, the craftsmanship of the late 1800’s was phenomenal, and we tried to bring that back to life along with all of the modern amenities that one would expect in a home of this caliber,” said the East Boston development team.
