11 Atkins St

Spacious 4BR | 2 Full Bath | Updated Kitchen | Covered Back Porch | Oak Square, Brighton Welcome to 11 Atkins St #3 a well-appointed, top-floor apartment in Brighton's comfortable and community-driven Oak Square neighborhood. With four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, an updated kitchen, gleaming hardwood and tile floors throughout, and a large covered back porch that was recently rebuilt, this is the kind of space that works beautifully for families, roommate groups, and anyone who values room to spread out. The Unit The updated kitchen features granite countertops, new cabinets, a tile backsplash, gas stove, and stainless steel appliances including microwave and dishwasher open to a bright, airy living area that makes everyday cooking and casual entertaining flow naturally together. Both full bathrooms offer the flexibility that multiple-occupant households need. A full-size in-unit washer and dryer rounds out the conveniences - trudging up and down to the basement or a laundromat or having to keep piles of change on hand. Gleaming hardwood and tile floors run throughout the entire apartment, and gas heat keeps things warm and efficient through New England winters. Out back, a large, recently rebuilt covered porch gives you a genuine outdoor retreat a true bonus for Brighton living. Parking One of this listing's most compelling features: plentiful, free, untimed, and unpermitted on-street parking right outside the door. In a city where resident parking stickers and permit lotteries are a constant headache, Atkins Street is an outlier park easily, park for free, and don't think about it again. Getting Around Brighton is a commuter-friendly neighborhood with multiple bus stops throughout. The closest MBTA access is right at Oak Square on Washington Street. Route 57 (Watertown Yard Kenmore Square) runs every 15 minutes or less during normal service hours, making it one of the most reliable bus connections in the system. From Kenmore, you have direct access to the Green Line B, C, and D branches, connecting you to Fenway, Copley, Hynes, and Park Street. Route 64 (Oak Square Kendall/MIT via North Beacon Street) also serves the area, providing a direct bus link to Cambridge and the Red Line without going through downtown. Route 501 provides express bus service to Downtown Boston via Copley Square a particularly fast option for downtown commuters. For drivers, I-90 (the Mass Pike) is easily accessible from Oak Square, putting downtown Boston, Fenway, and the western suburbs within a short drive. Boston College and Boston Medical Center Brighton (formerly St. Elizabeth's) are also conveniently close, making this a strong location for BC affiliates and medical professionals. The Neighborhood Oak Square is a nature lover's dream, with parks including Gallagher Park, Foster Street Hill, and Rogers Park all great for sports, scenic views, and picnics. The neighborhood's historic crossroads is surrounded by dining spots and local shops, and the area has an energy and vitality that feels distinctly residential without feeling removed. For gym rats, Oak Square YMCA is just around the corner. The dining scene is growing: Mo's Tavern & Kitchen a new gastropub from the owners of the beloved Abbey in Brookline and Cambridge recently opened at 575 Washington Street, bringing elevated pub fare, an open kitchen, and a lively bar to Oak Square. Neighborhood favorites also include one of the city's highest rated pizzas at Ziggy's Brighton Bodega, Nakhon (Boston's first 100% Halal Southern Thai restaurant), Jim's Deli, and Thonglor Thai. For bigger grocery hauls, Whole Foods Market is about a mile away, and across the Charles River, Arsenal Yards offers retail options including Target, Best Buy, and Old Navy. The Chestnut Hill Reservation and Hammond Pond Reservation are also nearby for hiking, dog walking, and outdoor recreation.
