If you are looking for an entire apartment in a charming Boston neighborhood just outside of Downtown, don’t miss out on this newly renovated unit that has just been listed. At 653-square-feet, this one-bedroom, one-bathroom Brighton apartment is on the second floor of a four-story brick building near the commercial thoroughfare of Commonwealth Avenue. Equipped with new kitchen appliances and modern fixtures, this Brighton unit features freshly painted doors and walls, gas heating, high ceilings, large windows for lots of natural light, pristine hardwood floors, and recessed lighting. This couples-friendly unit includes WiFi. You have the option of having this apartment fully furnished by June for stays of three months or longer. Steps away from cafes, convenience stores, and restaurants along Commonwealth Avenue, this unit is ideal for anyone that prefers to walk or ride a bicycle. Perfect for college students and working professionals that plan to utilize public transportation, a two-minute walk will get you to Washington Street station for the Green Line B subway train, which runs from Boston College to North End, passing through Boston University on its way. For daily commuters that drive, paid parking is readily available. St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center is a half-mile away, making this a great home for medical professionals that want to live close to their job. Brighton is a pedestrian-friendly neighborhood with sidewalks and public parks for you to enjoy. If you are looking for some fresh air and outdoor recreation, be sure to check out Chestnut Hill Reservation, a scenic green space with a 1.5-mile paved trail around the Chestnut Hill Reservoir. This lovely Brighton apartment opens to a foyer with a convenient closet near the door for hanging coats and other apparel. Brilliant wood floors, high ceilings, and radiant sunlight welcome you as you step into the eat-in living area, which features oversized windows and window coverings. The living room can easily accommodate a coffee table, media console, and sectional couch, as well as a four-person dining table and chairs. The hallway leading to the kitchen provides enough space for a home office or personal workspace. The kitchen has been recently remodeled and features granite countertops, a mosaic backsplash, new stainless steel Samsung appliances, including a dishwasher and an over-the-range microwave, a single-basin sink with a pull-down faucet, and white shaker cabinets. The kitchen offers a large window for much-needed natural light and ventilation while cooking. The bathroom boasts a luxurious walk-in shower with white subway tiling, modern chrome fixtures, and a vanity with a new sink and a large mirror. The bedroom offers a closet for storage and is large enough to accommodate a queen-size bed and nightstand or small dresser. Your safety and comfort are our top priorities! To ensure it, we ask all our new members to complete a background and credit check and electronically sign a residency agreement. You'll need to share your ID and Social Security Number (for those in the US) with us. We'll shoot over the agreement after you book, and we kindly ask you to sign it quickly to guarantee your room. For your credit, we're looking for scores above 550-650, depending on your city and we'll need a clean criminal record too (this doesn't apply to DC). If you meet all the requirements, you will receive the agreement which you need to sign within 24 hours. We do not provide towels, linens, or other similar amenities. Guests are required to bring these items with them. We hope this setup meets your needs for an extended stay, and we look forward to hosting you!
