A corner studio inside a 1920 firehouse.
16-18 Walk Hill #7 is a 300-square-foot corner studio in an architecturally significant circa-1920 firehouse — formerly City of Boston Engine 53, now thirteen condo homes. Inside are gleaming hardwood floors, high ceilings, exposed brick, and large windows with custom blinds, plus a tiled bath and private storage. The $296.01 monthly fee covers heat, hot water, water and sewer, master insurance, laundry, exterior maintenance, landscaping, snow removal, extra storage, refuse removal and management — and the building is pet-friendly with easy access to the bike room. Forest Hills station on the Orange Line, the Arnold Arboretum, and nearby shops, restaurants and coffee put the rest of the city within reach.

Engine 53, circa 1920.
The building went up in 1920 as a City of Boston firehouse — Engine 53 — and it still shows: brick construction, the arched apparatus bays with their red doors, and the clock set into the façade. Today it holds thirteen condo homes, and Unit 7 keeps the height, the brick, and the big windows.
