“Those who sing through the summer must dance in the winter.”
If you cannot find pride and inspiration in that proverb, we don’t blame you. But it sounds nice. This has been a truly testing winter, but it’s going to make the thaw that much sweeter. Mike saw his shadow the other day, which is unfounded evidence that winter is ending very soon.
We are New Englanders through and through, and the no BS upside to this is the camaraderie and neighborly acts we’ve experienced as we all got through the snowstorms together.
Now, for the real estate –
While we still handle plenty of single-family homes and condos, we’ve also been busy expanding into mixed-use and multi-family properties. Over the past few months and into the start of the year, we’ve gone into agreement on:
- SOLD! 768–772 Tremont St, South End, Boston – Mixed-use magic! This commercial + residential development opportunity went under agreement thanks to its prime location and huge potential
- SOLD! 67 Appleton St & 45–47 Clarendon St, South End, Boston – Mixed-use multifamily brownstone that drew strong interest and is now under agreement.
And our active (yet off-market) listings show just how much we’re growing:
- 42 B St, Lowell – Multi-unit property with 4 existing units plus a plot approved for a two-unit building
- 603 Massachusetts Ave, South End – 4-unit mixed-use multifamily
- OFFER ACCEPTED! 17 Sheafe St, North End, Boston – 7-unit multi-family
- Everett – 20-unit multi-family portfolio (12-unit property + 8-unit property)
