Prime location on sunny corner of desirable Hereford Street, close to Boston’s top dining, shopping, colleges, medical areas, and cultural venues. This elegant, 5,520SF building offers 9 beautifully appointed units (4 one-bedrooms and 5 studios). Four units have renovated kitchens and bathrooms; the others offer updated finishes.
