Reply #14: The Charles St side? [View All]

My brother had a one bedroom condo on Beacon Hill that he just sold for $1 million. He bought a 2 bedroom condo in Back Bay (Essex St.) for less than the Beacon Hill place and pocketed the difference. I am trying to get the use of the Back Bay place for folks who might come to Boston this summer to visit. (This brother was a huge Kerry supporter and probably wouldn't mind if I promised to tidy up afterward. He lives fulltime in Alexandria, VA.)

Louisburg Square is nice. Have you ever taken the tour and seen the hidden gardens? Very nice. I took a history of Boston class once and we went through the history of Beacon Hill and who lived there and who built there and whatnot. Very interesting stuff. (Well, it's interesting if you are a history geek.) I love that architecture, it looks so permanent and stately. (No purple glass though.)
