Hot Property: Schoolhouse condo has character in Southie

If it’s not a tried-and-true triple-decker or a glossy new development, what else can a condo occupy in prime Southie?

How about a lovely Second Empire red brick schoolhouse? The Benjamin Pope Schoolhouse, circa 1890, was converted into 13 condos at 110 O St. in South Boston with Unit 8 hitting the market in this highly coveted location and character-filled development.

Thanks to its former life, the two-bedroom, two-bath condo boasts soaring 13-foot ceilings accented by oversized, shutter-flanked windows that flood the unit with natural light. The open-ish floor plan combines the living and dining areas, with a U-shaped kitchen set slightly back. In addition to plenty of storage, the kitchen enjoys an eat-in peninsula for that casual nosh.

Beadboard details, moulding and a set of French doors that open to the guest bedroom add interest and personality to the condo’s footprint — a comfortable 943 square feet.

There’s outdoor space, too! When you’re not strolling to Castle Island or hitting nearby city beaches — both just minutes away — you can relax on your own spacious private deck.

Notably, the condos are adjacent to just about every trendy restaurant, coffee shop, and drinking establishment in Southie, so there’s no shortage of fun to be had.

And no need to bring your own traffic cone, stroller or lawn chair — Unit 8 comes with a deeded parking space.

To learn more about the property, offered at $839,000, or to schedule a private showing, contact Tia Zaferakis with Jack Conway, 617-699-6268.
