About This Home

As of November 2019

Exceptional top floor corner unit with partial views of the Reservoir and the absolutely charming courtyard from the kitchen window! Generous sized Living Room with a fireplace, tall ceilings and hardwood floors throughout. Very spacious Bedrooms. In addition, there is a private deeded storage room located in the basement along with common laundry. A little about the complex if you are new to or unfamiliar with the area. Welcome to the sought after Reservoir Gardens in a picturesque courtyard setting across the street from the Chestnut Hill Reservoir. Ideally located on the 'B' line, yet a short distance to the 'C' and 'D' lines, Cleveland Circle and the gorgeous 133 acre Chestnut Hill Reservation and Community Garden. Convenient to Mass Pike, Rte 9, LMA and the 86 bus to Harvard Square about a block away. Permit parking in the back on Chestnut Hill Drive.
