Find South End, Boston MA Homes for Sale with a Fireplace
The South End holds the largest intact Victorian row house district in the country, built mostly between 1850 and 1880 around a series of English-style residential squares. Those houses were built with fireplaces in the parlors and principal bedrooms, and the conversions to condominium units that followed in the 1970s and 1980s generally kept the mantels intact even where the flues were closed. Union Park, Rutland Square and the Worcester and Concord Street blocks are where they turn up most. Cabot & Company knows these buildings floor by floor. Compare the adjacent market on the Back Bay fireplace page.
