No broker fee, for rent by owner. July 1st lease. 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, central air conditioning, and in-unit washer/dryer. One off-street parking space included (low clearance, compact cars only - see pictures in listing). Transit: 5-minute walk to the Brookline Village station (D-line, which currently suspends at Government Center but will eventually go to West Somerville after the Green Line Extension project is complete - slated end of 2021). 10-minute walk to Coolidge Corner. Parks & trails: Access both the Esplanade (~2 miles away through neighborhood streets) and the Emerald Necklace (~0.4 miles away through neighborhood streets) and everything both have to offer. There are 5 small parks within two blocks of the home. Groceries: Nearby grocery stores include Stop and Shop (5-minute walk), Trader Joes (10-minute walk) and various others - Whole Foods in Brookline and Jamaica Plain a ~10 minute drive away. Restaurants: Great restaurants in the area (many more, but during COVID) include Cutty's (award winning sandwiches), Migaku Ramen (~5-minute walk), Martin's (~5 minute walk), Bottega di Capri (~5 minute walk) and many more. Other "stuff": The Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) is a ~30 minute walk away. Fenway is a ~27 minute walk away. We can regularly hear the bells from St. Mary's Cathedral from the home. We understand the rental struggle in Boston, and we know these things are important. Look no further! This is the second unit in the 2-family home (we own this unit, the other "unit" is owned by a different family). While the home was built in 1843, our unit is new as of 2012. It occupies the top floor, and part of the second-to-top floor (second or third story, depending on perspective). This unit features, among other things, (remote controlled) skylights and a private entrance next to the parking space. We're looking for the perfect match: some great renters who are looking for a year lease in a furnished space in the heart of the charming Brookline Village. We're not sure what our future holds, and are open to longer leases, but as of right now, our plan is to come back at some point. Please see all the pictures and please ask questions. Sorry, no pets. Sorry, no smoking. First month's rent, last month's rent, and security deposit (one months rent, to be held in interest-bearing escrow) due at signing. Owner (we) are responsible for sewer/water/gas. Tenants (you) are responsible for electricity and any other services (e.g. internet) they'd like to run to the home. As we are the owners and are not going through a broker (better for everyone, and no fee for anyone), we expect a (1) Credit report, (2) Background check, (3) Income & employment history and (4) Proof-of-income - all services offered through Zillow, before proceeding.
