About this home

Spacious 2-bedroom apartment available now with in-unit laundry in Roxbury's Fort Hill neighborhood! This apartment shines with generous space to live and is a cared-for Queen Anne period home. This second-floor unit sits atop Fort Hill, with views of the downtown Boston skyline from the primary bedroom window, and the Roxbury Crossing Orange Line stop is less than ¾ mile from your front door.The heart of the apartment is a living room and dining room combo, rare in Boston rentals, providing generous space for relaxing and entertaining. Gleaming, refinished original hardwood floors carry warmth throughout, along with period details like mantels with fireplace shelves, cast-iron heat registers, and original woodwork. The large eat-in kitchen has room for a breakfast nook and incudes a big pantry closet. Laundry is in the unit, so there's no walking down to the basement!The building has been in the same family for nearly 50 years and is cared for directly, with a full rehab in 2014, new ceiling fans, windows, and refinished floors in 2024, and an updated bathroom. Thornton Street is a quiet, tree-lined street near Nubian Square, with shops, grocers, restaurants, and Silver Line and bus access all within walking distance. A rare find in Roxbury. Don't miss out!
