ALL YOURS. 10min walk to BC Law/Shuttle/T. Sunny/Quiet/Safe. Util/laundry inclu. No fees. Pkg avail.

A rare find. Sunny, quiet, safe. A quality renovation of a rental unit in a Historic Registered farmhouse owned by "empty nesters" on a quiet leafy residential side street 2-3 blocks from BC Law School with quick access to other campuses and downtown... Boston. The entire 2nd floor fully-furnished self-contained unit is yours, not just a room. ALL UTILITIES, WiFi, sheltered bicycle storage and (coin free) laundry included, as well as fresh bed linens and towels and a fully-equipped kitchenette. Just unpack your suitcase and you are all set. No broker fee, application fee or any other hidden fees. 12 month lease preferred but 9 month lease negotiable.

You enter your recently renovated 2nd floor unit through a door at the bottom of your enclosed staircase. Upstairs you have exclusive use of four separate rooms, all off of your private hallway: On one side of your hallway is a bedroom with a high-quality Queen-size "Sterns and Foster" mattress, and a sitting/living room/study with a "Stressless" brand recliner, bookcase, desk and chair. Across your hall is a recently gut-renovated bathroom with a frameless glass-enclosed deep soaking tub/shower and heated(!) tile floor. Adjacent is the recently installed eat-in quartz countertop kitchenette with a Breville Smart Oven Fryer Pro, countertop induction burner, small refrigerator with separate freezer, microwave, electric kettle, pots, pans, etc. You are also welcome to use the side yard and share the clothes line that is there. Smoke free and no pets allowed, but we do have a friendly Bernese Mountain Dog who stays downstairs.

Highlights: VALUE! LOCATION! COMFORT! Newton is ranked "among the safest cities in America". This well-appointed sunny unit in a quiet neighborhood, is perfect for a grad student or faculty member, with quick access to several area campuses and to downtown Boston via various MBTA (the "T") options. Easy access via the "T" to Boston, Cambridge, Brookline, Watertown, Waltham and other nearby towns and quick access to Logan Airport. If you have a car, off-street driveway parking available for a fee. It's a 10 minute walk to the BC Law School campus where you can catch BC's free shuttle bus to the main campus and the T's Green Line. Or opt to walk 30 min to BC's main campus. The T's #52 bus is at our corner. Take it, or walk 10-15 minutes down Centre Street to the T's Express Buses with direct service to Copley Square or South Station/Financial District (502, 504, 553, 554), plus the 57 bus via Oak Square to BU. Newtonville and Newton Centre's Green Line are each a quick bike ride or 20 or 30 minute walk respectively, with several grocery stores, coffee shops and excellent restaurants as well as Commuter Rail/Green Line T-access. Harvard Yard or Brandeis are each accessible by T or are about 15 minutes by car; Longwood Medical Area about 20 minutes. There's quick access to Mass Pike (I-90), Routes 9, and Route 128 (I-95). If you have a car, we have off-street driveway parking for an additional fee (Note: Newton prohibits on-street overnight parking in the winter months)
