What This Apartment Offers
Affordable Basement 2 Bedroom Available in Prime Brighton Location – Almost Fully Furnished!
Available for move-in July 1st!
Why spend more when you can SAVE TO BUY your own home? This cozy basement unit offers unbeatable value in the highly... sought-after Oak Square neighborhood of Brighton—perfect for a graduate student that wants an extra room for a quiet office space to study or a professional looking for an affordable space ALL TO THEMSELVES, with a bonus room for guests, storage, or whatever's clever... while focusing on saving up to get out of the rental market into home ownership!
No heavy lifting required or tons of furniture to buy—just BYOM (Bring Your Own Mattress)! Bed frames already set up, so all you have to do is drop in your mattresses and settle in. Or, if you prefer, the bed frame in the smaller bedroom can easily be removed for you to use the extra space as a studio / den / work out room / or what have you. :)
Enjoy the convenience of almost FULLY furnished living, including couch, barstools, cooking utensils, dishes, plates, and a large-screen smart TV—almost like a full Airbnb experience without the hefty price.
Features:
- $1,475/month – an incredible deal for the area (less than one-bedrooms around here)
- Ultimate convenience: quick access to downtown Boston and Harvard Square
- Laundry in-unit, shared only with me, mostly (thoughtful wife of carpenter upstairs that works to work around your schedule) :)
- Open concept living space with several small windows for natural light (basement)
- Perfect for budget-conscious individuals focused on location and savings
- Discrete entrance, under back porch (3/4 door)
- Creative kitchen appliances - free standing convection microwave oven, over-sized toaster oven, plug-in countertop burners, and crock pot are what make this space functional, yet so affordable
- Utilities, which everyone knows are out of control, these days (heat, hot water, electricity, Xfinity cable, and 5G internet) are split with upstairs tenants (basement tenant pays 1/3...upstairs peeps pay 2/3)
- Perfect for those seeking to stay in a super convenient, thriving, well-sought after location that is so convenient to everything, but are happy to live in a creative basement space to save a ton of money (Vs paying the $2,500 - $3,000/mo + typical of this awesome neighborhood) and NOT have to share a kitchen / bathroom / living room (GETS OLD, QUICK) with anyone!
We’re a super welcoming married couple in our 40's that is set on finding someone that is the right fit for good vibes, timely utility and rent payments... respectful, clean, sweet, and super easy to get along with. Always here if you need us, but we pretty much do our own thing and respect you doing yours. Looking for someone with good energy, more than anything, to keep the easy going, comfortable, compassionate, mature and reliable, but super chill vibe of the house. :)
If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!
JULY 1ST LEASE START. :)
