Description

Available 06/01/25. Prime South End 1-BR on desirable Appleton Street. This sunny and spacious front unit is located on the third floor of an elevator building. It features over 700 square feet of living space in a very well maintained and professionally managed building. Situated in the South End but close to the Back Bay border, the best that these 2 neighborhoods have to offer is right at your doorstep. This condo offers a great layout, a beautiful brick wall that runs most of the length of the unit and beautiful hardwood floors. Enjoy all of the in unit amenities including central air conditioning, an in unit washer/dryer, a large walk-in closet, a renovated kitchen, large new windows throughout, high ceilings, and a dedicated storage unit in the basement. This unit is pet friendly and the common roof deck boasts panoramic views of the Boston skyline and is a great way to entertain on beautiful days! This unit is currently occupied through 05/31/25 and is available starting on or around 06/01/25. This unit was an owner-occupied unit for 4+ years and the owner (that's me - and I serve on the board) is renting this unit - there is tremendous pride. The photos are from when I lived there. My tenants will make the unit available for weekend tours. Will require first month, last month and security deposit.

Owner pays for water, sewer, trash and building common area cleaning by virtue of HOA. Tenant pays for electricity.

    "Everyone has one. The dog park at the corridor is a blast. Most places allow small dogs. There are several pet shops from boutique to commercial. You and your dog will feel at home and safe unlike a lot of places in the city. If you need puppy training classes, Mark over at unleashed is fantastic. Most places let your bring your dog in and if you’re Dining out, patios are the perfect spot . "

    "The south end is truly one of Boston’s treasures. It is many micro neighborhoods, which can often be a block or two in size, but which are united in pride of common identity. A truly diverse place where people of many races, social identities, and economic classes live together with an amazing sense of togetherness. Almost any product or service you want is within a few blocks walk, and people & families of all types use all of them. I’m a happy resident."
