About this home

Elegant two bedroom apartment in beautifully maintained, owner-occupied two family home on an attractive and quiet side street in desirable and trendy Savin Hill! This property shows pride of ownership throughout. This utterly charming first-floor unit features natural hardwood floors and gorgeous woodwork throughout. Enter through a welcoming and very civilized foyer with ample coat and storage space into the oversized, sunny living room. The bright and inviting dining room with built-in china cabinet is absolutely perfect for entertaining. The large, well-appointed eat-in kitchen features stainless steel appliances including a gas range and dishwasher, recessed lighting, and plenty of custom natural wood cabinetry. The bedrooms are generously sized. Enjoy the shared backyard, your own private back porch, and central A/C for warm weather enjoyment! Dedicated laundry is in the basement (NOT SHARED). This location is just a five minute walk to the Savin Hill Red Line T Stop and moments to Rt 93, making it a commuter's paradise. Steps from McConnell Park, Malibu Beach, and Savin Hill Park too! Tenants pay for heat, hot water, electricity, and internet/cable. Owner pays for cold water and sewer charges. Good credit and strong references are an absolute must. No smoking or vaping of any kind allowed. Upfront costs are first month's rent and last month's rent. A cat will be considered. This apartment just feels like home. This opportunity will not last! Available for September 1 or October 1.
