285 Lynn Shore Dr

A late-19th-century, single-story condominium building located on Lynn Shore Drive, built in 1893 and positioned directly across from the ocean. The property contains one- and two-bedroom residences (some marketed as studio-style layouts) with period touches such as high ceilings, hardwood floors and exposed brick in select units, combined with updated kitchens and bathrooms in many homes. Common areas include a formal entrance foyer with decorative lighting, elevator access to interior corridors, and coin-operated laundry in the basement. Exterior features emphasize the coastal setting: garden areas, city and ocean views from multiple units, outdoor gas grill hookup and preserved decorative façade elements. Building services and upkeep are managed via an HOA whose fees commonly include heat, hot water, water, sewer, exterior maintenance, landscaping, snow removal, elevator service and master insurance; reserve funds are maintained. Parking is primarily street-level with ample curb parking nearby; the location is a short walk to Red Rock Park, beach paths, transit and local shops. The association permits cats and typically allows dogs under a specified weight limit; units are sold in a mix of condition from fully updated to “as‑is,” with occasional short-sale or cash-only sales noted.
