About This Home
NO FEES! SPEAK DIRECTLY TO THE OWNER FOR SEPTEMBER 1st MOVE IN.
Steps from the Freedom Trail, directly across Harvard Street from the John Harvard Mall. Other Parks like Bunker Hill, City Square, and the Training Field are just a few blocks away. Plus your own private deck. This apartment is situated on the first two floors of a brick townhouse. An upstairs apartment occupies the upper three levels.
Walking distance to everything! Restaurants and shops are just around the corner- one block to the Warren Tavern. Take a bus from Main Street to the Financial District or simply walk ten minutes across the new bridge to North Station. Only a five minute walk to the Charlestown Navy Yard. Five minutes in the opposite direction to Wholefoods and the Bunker Hill Orange Line ‘T’ Station.
This apartment is not newly renovated, but has historical charm, functional, sunny, and in a safe neighborhood with plenty of street parking (resident sticker). Six granite steps up from Harvard Street to a common hallway, then straight into the front door (first few photos). Wood floors throughout the large living room and dining room on this level. A tiled kitchen (with dishwasher) and half bath are off of the entry hall, along with interior stairs down to the carpeted bedroom level. Step out the exterior kitchen door to a private deck (9 ft x 18 ft) surrounded by trees. An exterior spiral staircase takes you down to street level- rear access to the building on Prescott Street. This is half a flight below the front of the building, around the block on Harvard Street. A locked gate provides access directly to the sidewalk. Again, the two bedrooms and full bath are on the lower level. One bedroom has dimensions 11 ft x 13 ft and a good size closet. It faces Harvard Street so is half a level below that front sidewalk. The other bedroom (or choose for your office) is 9 ft x 12 ft with a door that leads directly outside on grade level to the rear spiral stair area and gate access to Prescott Street. An alcove in the bedroom hallway can be used for desk/office/storage space and has an adjacent bathroom door, plus two large storage closets- one with a washer dryer, provided by the owner.
$3225 per month, plus utilities. First, last, and HALF month’s security deposit at time of signing. Call or text Don, the owner, and schedule a viewing this week!
