About this home
Oak Square has character, and so does this home. If you've grown tired of generic apartment living, this is the antidote. Set across two levels of an owner-occupied duplex, this fully renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bath with office space feels less like a rental and more like a place you actually want to come home to.The home has been redone from top to bottom, but it hasn't lost its soul. Original hardwood floors, wainscoting, and stained glass windows give it warmth that no new construction can replicate. The living and dining rooms flow naturally into each other, sconce-lit and spacious, with freshly painted walls and polished floors throughout. The kitchen is completely updated, storage is abundant, and three new mini-split systems keep every room comfortable year-round.With a separate entrance, kitchenette and full bath the lower level invites flexibility and creativity. Outside, a beautifully kept garden, a back porch sunroom with a swing, and a BBQ setup give you outdoor space that actually invites you to slow down. Laundry included. Free on-street parking, no permits needed.Two minutes to the bus, four to I-90, six to Boston College, ten to Harvard/ Arsenal Mall & the YMCA/ Faneuil library just around the corner. One of Brighton's most established neighborhoods — and one of its most livable addresses.
