In a housing market so tight that buyers are turning to “love letters” as a way of charming sellers into selecting their bid, it’s nearly impossible to find a place that won’t break the bank. This two-bedroom apartment in East Boston, listed for $399,900, is one of the rare exceptions.
Tucked into the northwest corner of the city, the 559-square-foot condo, Unit 2 at 112 Trenton St. in East Boston’s Eagle Hill neighborhood, is just under a 10-minute drive to Logan. Christopher Buono of Compass has the listing.
The home opens into a small hallway where the bathroom — which features ceramic tile flooring, bead-board wainscoting, and a combination shower/bathtub — is located.
The living room and kitchen, found to the right off the entryway, share an open floor plan with white walls and parquet floors.
Renovated in 2016, the kitchen now features custom cabinets, quartz countertops, a stainless steel refrigerator, and a peninsula with room for seating. The living room is small, but can comfortably fit a couch, storage, and a TV. A set of box windows in the open space creates a small alcove that could serve as a workstation for those who have yet to return to the office.
The two bedrooms are at the other end of the unit. The primary bedroom features a double-door closet and the same parquet floors as the kitchen and living room. One exposed-brick wall adds an industrial chic look to the room.
The smaller second bedroom has a closet and wood floors and could serve as a home office or workout space, the listing suggests.
There are laundry facilities and storage in the basement, and the $200 monthly homeowners association fee covers heat, hot water, water, sewer, insurance, and trash removal. The unit is leased through the end of August for $2,250 a month.
