About this home
Morning at 995 Dorchester Ave starts with a run across the bridge to Malibu Beach as the sun comes up over the harbor, then a stop at McKenna's on the way home for coffee before the day gets going. That's the rhythm this address sets up for whoever moves in next, a front-row seat to a city block that never sits still. This is the home that finally connects you to the ease of Boston you've imagined. Set on the top floor, the three-bedroom, two-bath residence catches morning light through every window and stays free of any noise from above or below. A private back deck, upgraded to Trex in 2018, and a large shared yard extend the living space outdoors, while the elevated third-floor perch keeps the home connected to the pulse of the street below without sacrificing your peace + quiet.The kitchen has been steadily refreshed over the years, from updated light fixtures in 2020 to a new backsplash in 2022, and closet fit-outs in the primary closet (2019) and front bedroom (2024) reflect a level of care rarely found in a home this size. The full primary suite, complete with a generous walk in closet, is rare at this price point, and a new hot water heater installed in 2022 keeps the systems as current as the finishes. The building itself is professionally managed with healthy reserves, adding peace of mind to the daily routine.The location does the rest of the work: Savin Hill and JFK/UMass Red Line T stops within reach, The Banshee, Chester Tavern, and Sugarbowl Cafe nearby for nights and mornings alike, and Carson Beach, Malibu Beach, I-93, and Morrissey Blvd putting South Boston and the South Bay Shopping Center within easy striking distance. 995 Dorchester Ave, Unit 3 stands as a daily invitation to everything this stretch of Boston has to offer.
