7 Bellflower Street, Unit 1 Dorchester, MA - For Sale

We were ask to photograph a new real estate listing located at 7 Bellflower Street Unit 1 Dorchester, Ma. This was our first photo session for what many call a “triple decker”. Years ago the triple decker was a popular solution to the house issue. It was quite common for multi-generational families to all live under the same roof, but having their own living quarters. Each generation would occupy one of the three available levels.

In modern times many of these triple deckers have been converted to condo units.

Salem, MA - So Much More Than Witches

Salem, Ma - So Much More Than the Witch Museum. The city of Salem is filled with some many fascinating places that so few visitors even take the time to see. Our favorite streets include Chestnut and Essex. These streets are lined with brick sidewalks, overhanging tree branches, and dozen of amazing historical homes. Great place to walk and feel like you’re going back in time. Other fascinating places include Salem Willows, which previously had a street called restaurant row. Sad to say it was also home to a hospital for people that had small pox. A special street where several stucco homes were built to provide housing after the huge fire (Orne Street). The Salem Trolley or a guided tour will not disappoint.
