Property details
About 523 Columbus Ave
We are pleased to present the opportunity to acquire an extremely rare brownstone asset in Boston’s highly coveted South End neighborhood. The property consists of 7 condominium units that feature stately finishes such as hardwood floors, high ceilings, original fireplaces, custom woodwork, and superior window lines with city views. The units range from studio through two bedroom units, and the asset improved by two private off-street parking spaces in the rear of the building. Although currently operating as a multifamily rental building, all 7 units at the property are individually deeded as condominiums, allowing investors or owner occupiers the benefit of optionality. Additionally, 523 Columbus offers a value-add business plan through common area upgrades and light in unit renovations.
