Some apartments are easy to describe. This one's easy to fall for.
Conveniently located near Porter Square, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath apartment is defined by a sense of presence throughout an oversized, turreted living room bathed in natural light, high ceilings, and hardwood floors that carry that same open, elevated feel from room to room. It's the kind of space that makes hosting friends feel effortless, or a quiet Sunday feel like an occasion.
The kitchen opens directly onto the dining area, creating one continuous space built for real life granite countertops, a breakfast bar island, dishwasher, and disposal, all set up for everything from a quick coffee run to a proper dinner party. Central A/C and in-unit laundry take care of the details so you don't have to think about them. One bedroom comes with its own private en-suite bath, giving whoever claims it a space that's entirely their own.
Getting around is simple, too, with Red Line access at Porter Square putting Harvard Square, Somerville, and downtown Boston just a quick trip away. Available anytime between Now and 10/1/26
Upfront costs are 1st month's rent, and 1 month security deposit.
