270 Bowen St., Unit 2, underwent a complete renovation in 2010. BostonREP

March 16, 2020

This condo offers a cozy retreat in the city, with South Boston’s Broadway just steps away.

The upper half of 270 Bowen St. hit the market for $685,000 on Friday, March 6. The seller dropped the price $10,000 four days later, then accepted an offer on the 14th. Carole Tierney of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage has the listing.

The 912-square-footer resides on a block of similarly styled two-floor houses with little to no wiggle room between them. This unit underwent a complete renovation in 2010, and serves up a main floor with caramel-colored charm and walnut and cherry floors throughout.

In the main level’s open floor plan, the kitchen, dining and living spaces blend into one another. Natural light streaming in from a bay window illuminates the kitchen’s stainless-steel appliances, imported Travertine floors, maple cabinets, island, and granite counters. A dining table under a contemporary chandelier is behind that, and a living space with custom built-ins and a gas fireplace follows.

There’s one half bathroom on the first floor and one full bathroom and two bedrooms upstairs. The marble and tile bathrooms all feature vessel sinks, and the upstairs version offers a double vanity. To top it off, the second floor comes with access to a roof deck.

270 Bowen, Unit 2 also offers in-unit laundry, built-ins, and central air conditioning. It does not come with parking.
