515 E 8th St APT 3, South Boston, MA 02127
What's special
Perched atop a classic South Boston row house, Unit 3 at 515 E 8th Street is a fully updated two bedroom, one bath penthouse built for life outdoors as much as in. Two private outdoor spaces, including a rare private rooftop deck, set this home apart in a neighborhood where outdoor space comes at a premium. Inside, hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings and a built-in fireplace anchor the open main living level. The kitchen has been finished with quartz countertops, a built-in peninsula and stainless steel appliances. The living area flows directly out to the updated composite deck, ideal for morning coffee or hosting friends and family. The bathroom has also been recently renovated, and the primary bedroom features custom built-in shelving & closet space. A private staircase off the main deck climbs to the crown jewel: a rooftop deck ready with 360 degree views of Southie! Located in one of South Boston’s most desirable East Side pockets, 515 E 8th Street puts you just a block from the beach and moments from some of the neighborhood’s best outdoor spaces. Enjoy easy access to the waterfront, Pleasure Bay, Castle Island all while being tucked into a classic residential Southie neighborhood. The location offers the perfect balance of neighborhood feel and city convenience, with South Boston’s restaurants, shops and everyday amenities nearby and easy access to the Seaport, Downtown Boston and major commuter routes. Whether it’s a morning stroll along the water, an afternoon at the beach or heading out to everything Southie has to offer, this is a location that makes it easy to enjoy the neighborhood year round.
