Spacious 3BR | 1 Bath | 1430 Sq Feet | Spread Across Two Floors | South Side, Waltham | No Broker Fee | Available 9/1
Welcome to 29-31 Adams St #2 a generously proportioned, two-floor apartment in Waltham's highly walkable South Side neighborhood, just minutes from the Charles River, Moody Street's famous restaurant row, and the commuter rail to Boston. With three very large bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and living space spread across two floors, this apartment offers the scale, flexibility, and privacy that larger households and roommate groups rarely find without going well outside the city.
The Space
Up the stairs from the private entrance you will find gleaming hardwood floors leading from the foyer/landing that includes multiple closets into a good size living room off of which is the first bedroom to the left and straight through to the large eat-in kitchen and separate pantry. Off the kitchen is a very large laundry room that includes a full size washer and dryer and enough space to set up a dining table if needed and the full bathroom. Upstairs there is another landing with more closets that leads into 2 more generously sized bedrooms. Every room has at least 1 built in closet with additional storage in closets on the landings on both floors plus the laundry area and the pantry. On street parking is free, untimed and no resident permits are required - a rarity in the greater Boston area. Gas heat and a shared yard round out the features of this property.
Getting Around
Waltham Station on Carter Street serves the downtown area and is walkable from the Moody Street neighborhood. It is approximately a 10-12 minute walk from Adams Street. A typical trip from Waltham Station to North Station in Boston takes about 22 to 25 minutes on the Fitchburg Commuter Rail Line. For trips to Cambridge, riders can get off one stop early at Porter Square and transfer to the Red Line subway. MBTA bus routes 553, 556, 558, and 70 also serve the Waltham Station area, with Route 70 running along Main Street toward Watertown and Cambridge. For drivers, quick access to both I-95 (Route 128) and the Mass Pike (I-90) puts the tech hubs and surrounding suburbs within easy reach making Waltham an ideal home base for anyone working along the Route 128 corridor at companies like Raytheon, Thermo Fisher, or in the Waltham Woods and Reservoir Place office parks. Brandeis University is just 1.6 miles away, and Bentley University is also nearby.
The Neighborhood
The South Side of Waltham is the second most walkable neighborhood in the city, with a Walk Score of 87 most daily errands can be accomplished on foot. Moody Street known regionally as "Restaurant Row" is Waltham's culinary centerpiece, a vibrant stretch that rivals neighborhoods right in the city, hugging the banks of the Charles River with a distinct mix of historic red brick architecture and modern bustle. The dining options are genuinely exceptional and remarkably diverse. Gustazo Cuban Kitchen & Bar at 240 Moody St owned by executive chef Patricia Estorino, a two-time James Beard Foundation semifinalist has been consistently named to Boston's 50 Best Restaurants list for several years. Solea Restaurant and Tapas Bar brings Spanish tapas and sangria to the strip, while Bistro781 offers modern American cuisine and craft cocktails, and Tempo delivers upscale American fare alongside a lively bar and live music on weekends. Lizzy's Homemade Ice Cream is a beloved local institution, and Caffe Ollo provides a music-infused cafe with specialty coffees and globally-inspired bites. Each summer from Memorial Day through Labor Day, Moody Street opens its sidewalks and parking lanes for outdoor dining, turning the strip into one of the best al fresco dining corridors in the greater Boston area. The Charles River Riverwalk runs right through the neighborhood, offering a beautiful path for jogging, dog walking, and cycling along the water. The Charles River Museum of Industry and Innovation, celebrating Waltham as the foundation of the American Industrial Revolution, is also just steps from the commuter rail station.
