I used to spend a considerable amount of my time showing condos in Lynn.

There are some great homes for sale up there, right now.

One of these is described in full, on the Lynn Lofts website. It is a unit in the Ladder 3 Lofts development, a converted firehouse.

This home features a beautifully-landscaped private outdoor patio. Over 1,000 square feet in this one bedroom unit with separate study that could be used as second bedroom. Recently featured in Boston Globe, this converted 19th-century firehouse boasts 14-ft ceilings, exposed brick and architecturally-rich highlights including a 10-ft wide arched window. Enjoy the 5-room professionally-installed sound system.

Another awesome property is this condominium, recently listed for sale.

It is a ridiculously large condominium home, almost 4,000 square feet (with another 800 square feet in the finished basement). It includes four bedrooms, two full baths, and a second half bath.

From the listing agent:
