This unit at 26 Chiswick Rd., #12 offers the charm of a classic Brighton building with its original hardwood floors, high ceilings, and traditional layout. The apartment hasn't been recently renovated, so you'll find older cabinetry, vintage fixtures, and a more dated kitchen and bath. For renters or buyers who appreciate character and don't mind a space with some age, it's a solid, functional home with plenty of potential.
The building provides laundry on-site, secure entry, and the sturdy construction typical of early 20th century Boston properties. Heat and hot water are often included in buildings like this, helping offset the lack of modern upgrades.
