What's special

Three bedsBackyard includes garden beds

Welcome to 453 East 5th, South Boston: a turnkey single-family with dedicated parking and a backyard. A quick walk to the beach, parks, and Broadway, this unique condo alternative lives larger than its square footage and offers unlimited possibilities. Downstairs, the kitchen features a window box for year-round herbs, a half bath, a dining area big enough to host, and a generous living room with sliding glass doors to the backyard and patio. Upstairs you'll find three beds and a full bath; the primary accommodates a king bed, while the smallest fits a twin. The finished below-grade bonus room provides flexible space for a home office, den, playroom, or home gym. The backyard includes garden beds and the original, fully functional antique swing. Enjoy the Southie parade from the front lawn — you're on the route! Recent updates include HVAC, roof, hot water heater, washer/ dryer, and EV charger.
