About this home

The one you have been waiting for! This is the best two-bed deal in Newton and truly has it all! Owner's own unit which is available for rent for the first time! $650 off the first month's rent if taken for September 1! This 2bed/1bath + office has an abundance of natural light and beautiful, refinished hardwood floors throughout. A classic layout with living room, dining room and eat-in-kitchen. The kitchen has updated countertops (porcelain/quartz), custom cabinetry, and higher-end GE stainless steel appliances (oven, microwave, refrigerator and dishwasher). No central air in-unit, but three window units will be left for tenant use and installed/uninstalled when appropriate. A top-of-the-line alarm system from American Alarm is already installed and service can be activated if a tenant wishes to pay for monitoring services. Extra storage and washer/dryer in basement (free to use). Exclusive front and rear balconies to enjoy that morning coffee as well as a backyard grilling area. Two parking spots! Pets welcome for the right tenants! This apartment is ideally located just a short walk to express buses to the city, local restaurants, walking/biking paths along the Charles River and more. Looking for tenants willing to help with snow removal and with excellent credit. Annual household income of $95,000 or more preferable but not a deal-breaker if close. Personal items in photos will be removed in the next week and apartment will be delivered professionally cleaned. Only first month's rent and security deposit required up front. Don't miss this one!
