    551 E. 6th St., South Boston (East Side) Available September 1st (Year lease) Looking for a furnished, move-in-ready home in one of South Boston's best neighborhoods without the typical roommate experience? This is a fully furnished master suite with a private en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet in a beautifully renovated 1,700 sq. ft., two-floor duplex condo. Why This Home Is Different I've owned this condo since 2018 and have rented to young professionals ever since. Creating a safe, comfortable, low-maintenance home where everyone enjoys living is something I genuinely care about, and I've been fortunate to have wonderful tenants over the years. Many have stayed longer than expected because they loved the living situation including my current roommate, Peter, who recently renewed after living here for the past 1.5 years. Unlike most shared apartments, this home is occupied very lightly. Peter is an easygoing young professional who works and travels frequently, so he's typically home less than 40% of the time. I'm the owner/landlord, not a full-time roommate. I spend approximately six months each year living in Florida, and even when I'm in Boston, I'm only at the condo about 40% of the time. The result is a home that often feels like your own furnished apartment. Most days you'll have the kitchen, living room, patio, and common spaces largely to yourself while still paying room pricing instead of full-apartment rent. As an added bonus, I'm a Boston native, formerly worked for the Boston Celtics, and now own a concierge company. I'm always happy to help with local recommendations, restaurants, sporting events, concerts, or anything else that makes getting settled in Boston easier. Your Space Spacious furnished master bedroom Private en-suite bathroom Large walk-in closet Great natural light & work-from-home setup Flexible furnishings if you prefer to bring your own bed or bedroom furniture The Home 1,700 sq. ft. renovated two-floor duplex 3 bedrooms / 3 full bathrooms (no shared bathrooms) 2 floor unit - with upstairs and downstairs (Landlord lives downstairs) Fully furnished living room & kitchen Private fenced-in patio Central A/C In-unit washer & dryer Hardwood floors Granite countertops & stainless steel appliances Location Walk to: Carson Beach East Broadway restaurants & bars Coffee shops Grocery stores Public transportation One of the best locations in South Boston. Rent $2,150/month Approximately $125/month utilities 12-month lease - Can do month to month for a higher price Available September 1, 2026 First month's rent + last month's rent + security deposit ($1500) No broker fee Frankie, my friendly English Bulldog, occasionally visits when I'm in Boston. Who This Is Perfect For This home is ideal for someone who: Is new to Boston and wants an easy landing spot Appreciates a furnished, move-in-ready home Is clean, respectful, and easygoing Enjoys a quiet, friendly household over a party apartment Wants the convenience of roommates with the privacy of having the home to themselves much of the time No live-in couples. Occasional guests are welcome. If this sounds like a good fit, send me a quick introduction about yourself, what you do for work, your expected move-in date, and anything else you'd like to share. LinkedIn or social media profiles are always appreciated I enjoy getting to know prospective tenants before scheduling showings. (Text is fine or set up a call/facetime) 1 year
