21 School St

A brick Victorian three-story multi-family building constructed in 1870, the property reads like a period townhouse collection converted into modern 2-bedroom residences. The exterior retains traditional elements — bay windows, decorative millwork and wood porches — while unit-level features have been updated over time. Interiors typically show high ceilings, hardwood floors, original moldings and recessed lighting, with many units renovated to include contemporary kitchens and baths, stone counters, built-in storage and in-unit laundry. Common areas are modest and functional: shared basement storage, walk-up attic access, roof access for select units and exterior sheds on the lot. Outdoor amenities vary by unit but include private or semi-private decks, an enclosed patio and small fenced yard; some units have off-street parking. The building sits on a corner lot within easy walking distance of Union Square and other local centers, offering strong transit access and proximity to shops, restaurants and parks. Ownership patterns range from owner-occupied condos to investor-held rental units; typical services are self-managed association arrangements with low monthly fees. Pet and parking policies are unit- or association-specific rather than building-wide, reflecting the building’s piecemeal conversions and individual unit governance.
