Beautiful top-floor 2-bedroom apartment in prime Lower Allston, offering quiet residential living near Harvard, the Charles River, and the Western Avenue Innovation Corridor.
Available September 1 for a 12-month lease. This bright and renovated home is located on a quiet one-way residential street, just moments from Harvard Business School, Harvard SEAS, Harvard Innovation Labs, Harvard Stadium, Harvard athletic fields, Trader Joe's, Star Market, restaurants, cafes, parks, playgrounds, bike routes, and the Charles River.
The apartment enjoys natural light from three sides, with east, south, and west-facing exposure. Interior features include exposed brick walls, warm wood-style flooring, crisp white trim, recessed lighting, an updated kitchen, stainless steel appliances, black countertops, and a flexible two-bedroom layout. One bedroom has pocket doors and can be used as a private bedroom, home office, guest room, or opened up to extend the living space.
Each bedroom and the main living area has its own mini-split heating and cooling system for individual temperature control. Additional features include in-unit washer and dryer, rear deck with neighborhood views, one included off-street parking space, and possible resident street parking for an additional vehicle, subject to City of Boston rules.
Water is included in the rent. Tenant pays electricity and optional services such as internet or cable. No additional required monthly fees. Owner-managed rental. No landlord-paid broker fee; tenant is responsible for any broker fee only if tenant independently chooses to work with their own broker.
Lower Allston offers a rare balance of city access, green space, and a more relaxed neighborhood feel. Harvard's main Cambridge campus is just across the Charles River, while the Allston side offers open lawns, athletic fields, river paths, basketball courts, tennis courts, baseball and soccer fields, playgrounds, and nearby parks. The area is great for walking, running, biking, outdoor exercise, and convenient everyday living.
The neighborhood is also growing quickly, with the Western Avenue Innovation Corridor, Harvard's expanding Allston campus, Allston LabWorks, NEXUS, Harvard's Enterprise Research Campus, Harvard research and innovation spaces, and the future A.R.T. / Goel Center bringing new office, lab, retail, restaurant, cultural, civic, residential, and public open-space amenities to the area.
