Beacon Hill condo off a private courtyard drops for $2.1M

The bones of the 2,138-square-foot, six-room Unit 36 1/2 at 36 Joy Court in Beacon Hill date from 1850.

What’s more, the spread is off a private courtyard—one of 12 units in an association dating from 1980 that includes ones like this that feel more single-family than condo.

Unit 36 1/2 is on sale now through Craig Lake for $2.1 million for the first time in more than 20 years.

The three-bedroom condo includes touches such as four fireplaces and a private entrance off said courtyard—exclusivity in an area of Boston already pretty exclusive given its property prices.
