Overview of Property Offered for Lease Building 125 is located at 125 Baxter Road, Charlestown, Suffolk County, Massachusetts. The building contains approximately 10,188 square feet of interior space. The land assignment includes approximately 3,493 square feet of adjacent land surrounding the building, approximately 217 square feet for the HVAC enclosure located on the north side of the building, and the adjacent approximately 1,072 square foot parking lot located to the east of the building which has parking for nine (9) vehicles, one (1) of which must be designated for accessible parking.
