Recently Renovated 3BR | 1 Bath | Enclosed Rear Porch | Exclusive Driveway Use | Savin Hill, Dorchester | No Broker Fee | Available 9/1
Welcome to 53 Saxton St #1 a recently renovated and beautifully maintained, light-filled apartment in the heart of Savin Hill, Dorchester's most coveted waterfront neighborhood. This first-floor unit offers three bedrooms, 1 bathroom, enclosed rear porch, gleaming hardwood and tile floors throughout, and all the period character that Savin Hill's Victorian triple-deckers are famous for. Gas heat keeps things warm and efficient through New England winters.
The Unit
The renovated eat-in kitchen features granite counters, new cabinets, gas stove and stainless steel appliances including dishwasher. A bright and comfortable living room anchors the main floor, perfect for everyday living and entertaining. Three bedrooms offer flexible arrangements for families, roommate groups, or those who need a dedicated home office. The full bathroom and full size in-unit washer and dryer provide the kind of day-to-day practicality that makes shared living smooth. Gleaming hardwood and tile floors run throughout, and the unit's period architectural details give it real character that no new construction can replicate. There is a large enclosed rear porch for relaxing or extra storage and a good sized shared backyard for you and your pets to use. Exclusive use of the driveway is included with this unit at no additional cost. Saxton Street is a quiet one way street that offers additional on-street parking on both sides with a residents permit if required.
Getting Around
Savin Hill is well-connected for a neighborhood that feels this tucked away. Savin Hill station on the MBTA Red Line (Ashmont branch) is located at 121 Savin Hill Avenue, approximately a 12-minute walk from Saxton Street. From Savin Hill station, the connection to downtown Boston takes approximately 15 minutes by train putting Downtown Crossing, South Station, and Park Street all within easy reach. MBTA bus routes 15, 18, and 210 also stop near the neighborhood along Dorchester Avenue, connecting to Andrew Station, Ashmont, and beyond. I-93 also runs through Savin Hill, linking the neighborhood with downtown Boston less than 5 miles north, making it a strong choice for drivers and hybrid commuters alike. Logan International Airport is approximately 6.5 miles away about 13 minutes by car.
The Neighborhood
Savin Hill is one of the most covetable sections of Dorchester boasting historic homes on hills with views of Dorchester Bay, magnificent beaches, and proximity to downtown Boston. The outdoor lifestyle here is exceptional. Savin Hill Beach and Malibu Beach form a continuous half-mile of sandy DCR-managed shoreline on Dorchester Bay, with direct views of the Boston skyline across the water. Lifeguards are on duty Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day, and the Savin Hill Beach pavilion offers a bathhouse with restrooms, changing rooms, and outdoor rinse showers. Savin Hill Park, the neighborhood's centerpiece, sits atop the hill with harbor and city views, hiking trails, basketball and tennis courts, and a popular sledding hill in winter. The Savin Hill Yacht Club, founded in 1875, is located just off Morrissey Boulevard one of the oldest yacht clubs in Boston. The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum on Columbia Point is roughly 1.5 miles along the shoreline path, a beautiful walk on a clear day. Plenty of dining can be found along Dorchester Avenue nearby, and I-93 makes the entire city and beyond easily accessible.
