Hooray for the MBTA |
|
There has been a lot of grumbling about the MBTA lately...the Green Line extension, Orange Line closures, and bus route changes. But we think public transportation is essential, for many reasons, and the MBTA—and its very clear and informative website—has a lot to offer. For example, did you know you can get free Blue Bikes during the Orange and Green Line closures? Trip Planner is a great tool that presents all your options for getting from A to B, and we use Transit Near Me for every one of our listings, so we are well-informed about the options in any given neighborhood. User Guides are another fun tool; the Get Outside guide includes links to many recreational activities, such as the Harborwalk. Check it out! |

Located on a peaceful residential street, within a few blocks of convenient shops and restaurants, this second floor two-bedroom home offers a bright, open layout, the charm of high ceilings and wood floors, and an abundance of modern updates.

Spacious bathroom with neutral ceramic tiles and new vanity. Outdoor space consists of a private back deck as well as common front and back yards. In-unit laundry and deeded storage in the basement. The building, positioned on a corner lot, is well-maintained, with a pro-active condo association. Many updates have been done in recent years, including a new driveway and low-maintenance exterior siding.
