Quiet, mature building with just 4 units. Great combination of modern amenities and vintage charm, upgraded most recently in 2024. Kitchen features stove with glass-ceramic cook top and fridge with bottom-mount freezer. In-suite ductless A/C. FiOS in building for Internet, TV, etc. Wall-to-wall carpeting in bedrooms and hallway. Hard surface floors in living room and dining room. Ceiling fans in bedrooms. Loads of interior storage space plus storage locker in basement. Coin laundry on-site in the basement, shared with one other tenant.
The apartment also features several heritage or vintage elements: glass-fronted built-in china cabinet off the dining room; built-in cupboards and drawers in hallway; ornamental fireplace in living room. Kitchen has a retro vibe, retaining some of the green and white decorative elements that were the height of style when the building was built. The living room also has architectural windows, dating back to the original construction. All exterior windows have full storm/screen windows as well.
Each unit has its own hot water heater and its own boiler for the gas-fired hot water heating system. Hot water heaters and boilers are regularly serviced at the building. The in-suite thermostat allows you to select your temperature preference.
Off-street parking in the garage for one vehicle; parking for second car, only if space permits. Surface parking is not permitted. On a bus route and close to banks, convenience store, daycares, drugstores, restaurants, and more.
The building is set back from the street and surrounded by landscaped areas, including a patio at the rear. The Landlord practices environmentally-friendly gardening. Rather than manicured lawns - since lawn grass disturbs the pH of the soil - we have sedums and myrtle groundcovers; we also have plants for pollinators, such as Yarrow and Salvia, along with native coneflowers. Herbicides and pesticides are rarely used.
Building is safe and residents enjoy the protection of 24/7 camera security.
Local zoning does allow some work-from-home options; please inquire.
The building is actively managed by the owner. We have a full team of handyman, plumber, heating specialist, electrician and others to assist with maintenance.
The Landlord actively participates in the Landlord Credit Bureau so your on-time rental payments help build a track record of shelter payments on your credit report.
