    What's special

    Rear deckExtra-wide paved alleySpacious streetEasy accessSpiral stairElegant staircase
    Prime location, large (20 feet wide) classic South End high-stooped bow-front townhouse with five floors, currently a legal three-family. Unit 1 is a spacious street and parlor level duplex with a full basement, ideal for an owner-occupant. Units 2 and 3 are lovely floor-through one bedroom layouts. Units 1 and 2 are currently empty, and Unit 3 has a tenant with a lease through August 31, 2023. Located on an extra-wide paved alley with easy access, the large and sunny back yard faces west/southwest and is deep enough to park four cars (tandem) and still have a patio. This well-maintained home has a rear deck off of the street level of Unit 1 with a spiral stair connecting it to the garden. Original detail abounds throughout the house, with marble mantles, beautiful crown moldings and an elegant staircase. All of this within a short distance of some of the South End's favorite parks, restaurants and shops, and just minutes from the Prudential Center. Don't miss this rare opportunity!
