Bank Owned Properties

It’s harder to find a more conveniently located and lovely community than this one. Not only is the area home to an international airport minutes from downtown Boston, it also boasts a surprisingly affordable housing stock, especially when those dwellings are purchased from the bank. Usually, a bank owned property will sell for $300 a square foot, although deals abound. Interested buyers should contact us for tips on how to find the best possible parcels.

The residential streets here are densely packed with three and four story homes. In some cases, apartment complexes dominate, and in others the homes are simply expansive. Large yards are not as common, although in some sectors of the city they can still be found. An apartment in this area tends to be located in a building with at least three other units, and boasts a spacious interior with a massive kitchen fit for preparing a multi-course meal for a table of eight guests. The decor schemes here tend to be inventive, with the bottom row of cabinets being a slightly different shade than the top row of cabinets. The kitchen itself is often large enough to accommodate a small dining table or other piece of furniture, such as a bench or set of chairs, depending on the desires of the owner.

Each room, meanwhile, is outfitted with hardwood floors, and the interiors are a blazing white that is lit with recessed lighting. The closets tend to be large enough for walk-ins, although that is not always the case. The bathrooms tend to be covered with gorgeous tile, from white interiors on the showers to gray and black tile throughout the rest of the room. In some cases, the towel racks match or highlight elements of the design, creating a dynamic balance between the lighter and darker materials.

Short Sales

Those homes that are directly on the coastline have a gorgeous vantage point and interiors that are designed to take advantage of the view. With an average going rate of $250 a square foot for a short sale, these homes promise serenity and excitement in equal measure. The kitchens usually are designed in a long galley style, with the refrigerator at one end and the dishwasher at the other. The galley faces the principal living room, which is often ornamented with a fireplace and a series of windows that look out onto the ocean view. Hardwood floors are common here, although wall to wall carpet is occasionally installed instead.

Almost every home, whether it is a single family residence or an apartment complex, is light and bright and airy. This is accomplished primarily by having white plaster walls within the home, which amplifies the available light and reflects the natural light that comes in through the windows. The hallways are lit with a series of recessed lights that make it a beautiful procession to each of the bedrooms, as well as a de facto space for the display of large photographs or wall art. The bedrooms themselves are often located near a curving bank of windows, which sometimes has a built-in bench or series of seats that have storage compartments beneath them.

The decks on these homes are magnificent, and tend to wrap around the property. An owner can stroll from the front door to the side entrance to the back porch, all the while enjoying the sights and sounds of the outdoors. Many of these properties come with a basement, and some have attic spaces. The bathrooms are equipped with the latest in adjustable fixtures. The shower heads in particular tend to have numerous different settings, from jet-pulse streams to pressurized water to vigorous rinse cycles.

Geography

Located just east of Winthrop and south of Revere, this area of Boston is technically a peninsula, and is home to Logan International Airport. The city is crossed by Route 1A, Interstate 90, and Route 145, and boasts a fair number of green spaces for visitors to enjoy a picnic, take a quick jog, or otherwise survey the beauty of the city all around them. From Piers Park Sailing Center to the Memorial Park to LoPresti Park, this charming community is full of opportunities for enjoyable, low-key congregation. There are several localities contained within the region, including Harbor View/Orient Heights, Eagle Hill, Central Square, Central-Maverick Square, Jeffries Point, and the airport itself, which takes up most of the southeastern corner of the area. Ferry service is available to downtown Boston during the seasonal months, and subway service is available throughout the city.
