The action

The sellers are investors who had rented out the unit since 2009. The buyer is also an investor. It is in the UNO building, which is one of Mount Pleasant’s most desirable buildings, according to the listing agent. The sellers received a single offer. The sale completed on Aug. 31.

The 570-square-foot unit feels larger, with a separate eating area and built-in shelves. It is in the heart of trendy Main Street, close to shops and transit. Pets and rentals are allowed, with a two-month minimum. The 14-year-old building has a gym and shared courtyard.

The agent’s take

The building’s openness to short-term leasing helped. “The two-month minimum lease makes it attractive for investors and others who want that flexibility,” listing agent Mary Cleaver said.
