The price on this multi-hued 1-BR, 1-BA, 688-square-foot condo, which sits in a brick rowhouse straddling Back Bay and the South End, recently dropped $20,000, down to $429,000. That's still a robust $623 per square foot, but we're drawn in by promises of built-in bookshelves in the roomy bedroom; a "massive" walk-in closet; and the decorative, brick-faced fireplace—not to mention the walkable location at 231 West Newton Street, close to several T stops and the shops in Copley. — Rachel Lebeaux
