Beacon Hill’s most photographed Street

  This is Acorn Street on Beacon Hill. I have heard it called the most photographed street in America. I believe it.  You may recognize it from post cards .  It is a very short street and I only stumbled upon it recently after working Beacon Hill for 5 years.  Condos or rentals do not [...]


Beautiful Beacon Hill Hobbit hole, $2300

  This is the door to a $2300 apartment on Beacon Hill. The door is so small I had to turn sideways to fit. I have seen a lot of crazy things people deal with on Beacon Hill and in the North End and this is near the top of my list.  In all fairness, [...]

Amazing stately Fort Hill mansion

Movement along a prime building spot on Washington street

I was at a Broker event at the W residences when I saw this out the window. A front end loader working in the lot at the corner of LaGrange and Washington Street. This was the former site of a seedy strip club called the glass slipper which was one of the last hold overs [...]


Church Court, great condo building in need of an 80′sectomy

This is Church Court at the corner of Beacon Street and Mass ave in the Back Bay. It is the first church to condo conversion and as you can see from the photo got away with some drastically modern architecture. Some of the units have amazing features that incorporate the features of the church. The [...]


The sunny side of Commonwealth Avenue

Commonwealth avenue running through the Back Bay is well known to all of Boston. The way the streets are positioned one side of Comm ave gets dramatically more sunlight than the other. This becomes very obvious in the spring when the blooms on the trees on one side of the street flower several weeks before [...]


Another beautiful church boarded up

  This is one of the more spectacular and difficult churches for sale in the Boston area. The Romanesque architecture means that large parts of the building do not have windows which would make a condo conversion difficult.  This church is located in Jamaica Plain on center street. The area is improving rapidly but a [...]


Southwest Corridor Park

  The skies were very blue today over the Southwest Corridor Park.  The Southwest Corridor Park is a strip of park that separates the South End from the Back Bay.  It runs from the Back Bay T stop to Mass ave.  It has public gardens, tennis courts, and dog parks and is a great perk [...]


Door in the wall. Very JP.

  If you have ever been driving along Jamaica way just before you hit Perkins street there is an old wooden door in the side of the stone wall. I have always driven by it and wonder where it leads.  This is the kind of cool funky stuff that leads some people to fall in [...]


A remnant of the gilded age…but what to do with it?

It is currently used as an office building so if you are walking by 303 Dartmouth street pop in and take a look. It is enormous with breathtaking original detail. It Is also currently for [...]


Seaport District Loft

  I was showing some lofts today in the Seaport District. This one had a cool thing going on with the mirrors.  This unit is in the Sleeper Street lofts which is a condo building that has rentals come up from time to time.


The Vendome’s illustrious past

  The Vendome hotel on Commonwealth avenue in the Back Bay now the Vendome Condominiums has quite a history. Built in 1872 for $1,000,000 it was the first large commercial structure in the Back Bay. It was one of the first 3 hotels in America to install electric lights in 1883. The Vendome had also [...]


A gem in Kenmore Square left fallow

  This building in on the corner as I understand it is owned by BU and has been vacant for the 5 years I have been in Boston. This is quite a shame since it is such a beautiful building and housing in Boston is at a premium. This is all the more surprising since [...]
