The Muse, at 63 Melcher Street in Boston's Fort Point neighborhood, is a condominium building with 38 loft-style residences in a 1916 brick-and-beam building in the Fort Point Channel historic district.
The building was first converted to housing in 2012 by developer Gerding Edlen, which created 38 homes there, most of them compact studios. It was later converted to condominiums and marketed as The Muse. Most of the homes are studios, with a handful of one- and two-bedroom residences, and several deed-restricted affordable units remain part of the building.
Studios are about 520 square feet, one-bedrooms about 760 square feet, and two-bedrooms about 1,080 square feet. Interiors keep the industrial character of the building with exposed brick, original wood-beam ceilings that often exceed 12 feet, and oversized windows, along with quartz counters, subway tile, and in-unit laundry.
The building has an elevator and a common roof deck with skyline views and a grill, and a retail space occupies the ground floor.
South Station, the Financial District, and the waterfront are a short walk across the Fort Point Channel, and the restaurants, galleries, and offices of Fort Point and the Seaport District surround the building. Nearby residences include 319 A Street and FP3 Boston Lofts.
The building's tall windows and timber ceilings make even the studios feel open, and the small size of the building keeps hallways quiet.
For buyers who want an efficient loft in a historic brick-and-beam building steps from downtown, The Muse offers one of the more accessible entry points into Fort Point.
