LYNN ? A townhouse construction project adjacent to landmark Monte’s Pizza is changing the face of the East Lynn neighborhood.The largest of three planned buildings, encompassing 20 two-bedroom units, is already defining the place. Two more are past the drawing board and awaiting work crews.The development at 133 Eastern Ave. on the site of the former Hunt’s Coal Co. has been named Shore Village. It is the brainchild of brothers Paul and Philip Gallo of Marblehead. The first unit, which will be used as a sales model, is slated for completion by mid-June.Each luxury townhouse features 1,600 square feet of living area and an enclosed single-bay garage underneath the building, with space for a second vehicle in a private driveway.The project is designed by architects HPA Design of Wrentham and financed by the National Grand Bank of Marblehead.”Once these townhouses are completed, it’s really going to be a nice area down here,” said Philip Gallo. “It’ll change this whole neighborhood. It’ll be a place where people can walk.”Paul Gallo was quick to point out the proximity of the Swampscott train station and the Atlantic Ocean beaches, as well as the nearby restaurant and market. “We’ve done a lot of commercial projects and now we’re going back to our roots,” he said, noting their late grandfather, Pasquale “Patsy” Gallo was a land developer and home builder in the Swampscott area decades ago.Gallo said Ward 3 Councilor Darren Cyr shared their vision for a townhouse village and was instrumental in helping secure the necessary permits. “He understood what we were trying to do,” Gallo said.The townhouses are flanked by Monte’s Pizza on the left, Eastern Market and a Subway fast-food restaurant on the right, and a Swampscott elderly housing building on the rear property line, which marks the border between Lynn and Swampscott. The King’s Beach Tower is directly across the street.Ernest Carpenter, a former Lynn city councilor, and his wife, Anne, have been contracted through Annmarie Jonah Realtors in Lynn to sell the townhouses.The Gallo’s plan includes plenty of greenery and a landscaping layout that provides small islands of privacy between driveways in front of each townhouse. The primary building has nine units, the structure at the rear of the lot has eight, and three others will be more centered on the property.According to Carpenter, who handled the sale of the former Hunt’s Coal property to the Gallos, the interior units will go on the real estate market for $259,900 and the end units for $269,000.
