This quaint and cozy residential area is an attractive spot for anyone who desires a quiet neighborhood street with near immediate access to a commercial center. Home to a diverse mix of families, artists, and professionals, the streets of St. Botolph feature mostly historic brownstones with some newer condominiums and apartment towers. Though the neighborhood is mostly residential, its prime location between Back Bay and the South End offers residents easy access to the best parts of Boston’s top neighborhoods.

Not known as much for its luxury sales, 2024 only saw 1 sale over $2M in the St. Botolph sub-neighborhood and it was off-market. 

This transaction at 1 Durham Street was nothing to scoff at though. The architecturally exceptional Victorian townhouse fetched $5,250,000 in relative short order as its listing agent was quickly able to identify a buyer from the area who wanted to gain square footage and stay close to what they knew. The home had previously sold in 2006.
