Project Spotlight: 157 O St, South Boston

Abacus Builders is proud to have been trusted once again — this time to transform a historic 1900s single-family row house into a stunning modern home. Located just a stone’s throw from M Street Beach, this South Boston gem is being completely gut-renovated and expanded in accordance with Zoning Board of Appeal–-approved plans.

Designed by renowned Boston architect Derek Rubinoff, the home will feature a substantial rear addition, rear decks, a roof deck, and a generous backyard — creating the perfect balance of indoor-outdoor living for this growing family. The modern and contemporary design adds striking curb appeal to what is truly a forever home.

Inside, no detail is spared: radiant heated floors, ultra-sleek bathroom finishes, high-end kitchen appliances, custom designer closets, and luxury interior selections handpicked by the team at Stanton Schwartz Design Group. Construction began in January 2025, with completion anticipated by year’s end.
