Being in the heart of Back Bay, several bus lines are nearby on the corners of the street and there is easy access to both the green and orange line. This nearly 900sq foot luxurious apartment offers hardwood floors, a full kitchen, bath, and bedroom. The bathroom was recently updated with maintenance work of peeling paint from overheating. The space comes with free central heating and an A/C unit that cools down the space nicely. Additionally, parking is included in rent. The value of the unit is $4,000/month which is based on other apartments nearby, The Greenhouse, Garrison Square, and similar condo units in the area, and other factors.

The security deposit will be held for the duration of the lease and may be applied to unpaid rent, cleaning, repairs, or damages beyond normal wear and tear. Any balance will be returned within 7 days after lease termination.
