In the North End, we unfortunately don’t have a lot of photos, but this three-bedroom house certainly has a lot of space at 1,938 square feet. It has a big front porch, hardwood floors, and it’s located right in the middle of the neighborhood, near New Center, the arts district, and Boston-Edison. It’s listed for $950 per month.
