Lofts on South End’s Washington Street
Luxury lofts 2011 Report South End Boston
South End’s Washington St. is now called by many local foodies “the new restaurant row.” Indeed, with restaurants such as Union, Stella, Toro, and Myers & Chang’s run by renowned chefs and getting rave reviews, people are drawn outside of Newbury St. and Tremont St. to seek adventures for taste buds. Harrison Ave., where the hot SoWa Open Market takes place and home to dozens of art studios, galleries and trendy furniture stores, is just one block away. Also on Washington St. is the dog-friendly Peter’s Park, which offers beautiful city gardens, playgrounds, and sports fields. With its T accessibility and close proximity to elsewhere in town (neighboring Back Bay, Financial District and close to 93 Expressway and Mass. Pike exits), it’s no wonder it is gaining attention from renters, home buyers and investors alike. Developers have long before realized the potential of this neighborhood and built some fine residential developments in recent years.
In 2000, Laconia Lofts (located at 1200 Washington St.) welcomed new residents to its unique loft homes. More luxury loft condominiums were built a few years later including Wilkes Passage at 1313 Washington St., Gateway Terrace at 1166 Washington St., and Penny Place at the old Penny Savings Bank on the corner of Washington St. and Union Park. These modern homes are simply upscale urban loft living at its finest. Sleek designs feature high ceilings, oversized windows, open, bright living space, concrete or hardwood floors, and are finished with high-end touches including gourmet kitchens and tastefully done bathrooms. These buildings also have concierge service, 24-hour security and underground parking.
