Micro-units before it was a thing
Before micro-units became a thing everywhere, Bostonians were already used to living in small spaces. This week’s open house tour takes you to Back Bay, known for its market of tony brownstones at astronomical prices. But, if you look carefully, you can find something for under a million dollars.
