Updated Southie condo now, summer weekends next

Sure, it’s not even officially spring, but a practically beachfront condo in Southie will have anyone pining for long summer weekends on the beach.

Or, when you’re this close to the water, why not a Wednesday evening? If evening jogs to Castle Island, sipping coffee on your own sunny patio, and being close to all the action in the Seaport District sound like the winning summer trifecta, you’ll want to check out the perfectly efficient, immaculate Unit 1 condo at 777 E. 6th St. in Boston.

Start with an unbeatable location on the east side within walking distance of the M Street beach and easy access to public transportation and you’ll find a spiffy 2017 conversion of a classic Southie two-family, with Unit 1 taking up the first and lower levels, including a charming patio and fenced yard area. In essence, Unit 1 is a great place to begin and end your day — a commuter’s dream that’s also eminently walkable, and a quiet retreat with private outdoor space.

Under 1,000 square feet, Unit 1 feels much bigger than it is, thanks in part to the huge kitchen and dining space with sliders to its very own deck (there’s a deck, too!). The 2017 conversion shines here, with custom cabinets offerings tons of storage, an eat-in center island, and a modern stainless steel appliance package. The decidedly not-cramped kitchen sets the tone for the rest of the condo: an inviting and laid back living room, a comfortable master bedroom on the lower level, and a bonus room that could be used as a nursery, office or media room.

Open house hours for the condo, priced at $584,900, are 12:30 to 2 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday. The property is listed by Jonathan Heelen, 617-947-9635, and Kerry Dowlin, 617-817-6602, of Kerry Dowlin & Team with Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty.
