PROS
- Three bedrooms and two full bathrooms provide flexibility for occupants, work-from-home use, or guests.
- Listing advertises a $10,000 buyer credit at closing.
- Description states there is one off-street parking space, which can be valuable in an urban Boston setting.
- Second-floor, single-story layout may offer separation from street level while keeping the interior on one level.
- 26 listing photos are available, giving buyers more material to review before touring.
CONS
- Property classification is inconsistent: listed as single-family, but described as a condominium unit on the second floor.
- HOA fee is not provided, which is important if this is in fact a condo.
-
