The Carruth Condos in Dorchester

The Caruth is a six-story building in the Ashmont-Peabody Square neighborhood. Architects with the Duffy Design Group produced a clean, contemporary building that features LEED-certified systems and green design. Located less than 15 minutes from the financial district, the building is just steps away from the Red Line T-stop at the Ashmont/Peabody Square Station. The Red Line offers an easy connection to the Green Line, and I-93 is only a few minutes away by car. The Caruth is in the heart of one of Boston's historic neighborhoods that has undergone dramatic urban revitalization.

The Caruth Condominiums occupy the top two levels of the building. Condo residents have a private entrance and access the private lobby via an exclusive elevator that serves only the fifth and sixth floors. Each unit receives one deeded parking space in the heated underground garage.

Condos at The Caruth are considered to be among the best values in Boston for properties offering similar amenities and proximity to downtown. Although prices vary by unit, most condos in the building can be purchased for less than $300 per square foot.

All 42 units feature central heat and air, marble baths, granite countertops and Kohler appointments. Most units offer private balconies and panoramic views of the Blue Hills in Milton as well as the Boston skyline. Windows in the units are operational as well as designed to add architectural interest.

The ground floor of the building devotes 10,000 square feet to retail shops and restaurants. Flat Black Coffee Company and Wainwright Bank have joined forces to create a one-stop espresso and banking experience. Local restauranteur Chris Douglass brings his special touch to Tavolo, his new restaurant at The Caruth. Many other dining establishments and shops are within walking distance of The Caruth.
