Brighton Center – Renovated 2 Bed, 1 Bath with Parking & Outdoor Space – Available August 23rd. Also 9/1 or 10/1.

Enjoy Boston living with rare perks—off-street parking and exceptional outdoor space. This updated 2-bedroom, 1-bath apartment is just... steps from Brighton Center’s restaurants, shops, and the Green Line T, and only 10 minutes to Boston College.

Relax on your private balcony with new decking, or unwind in the expansive, professionally landscaped shared backyard with outdoor furniture—perfect for entertaining or soaking up the sun.

Inside, you’ll find a renovated kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances (dishwasher, microwave, garbage disposal), new cabinetry, and a spacious pantry. The updated bathroom features a new tub, vanity, and fixtures. A bright, east-facing living room and large dining room offer plenty of living space.

Both bedrooms are roomy—the primary with a 7-foot window, the second fitting a queen bed or working well as an office/gym. Storage is plentiful with multiple closets, including a linen closet.

Stay comfortable year-round with energy-efficient gas radiators for central heat and mini-split systems in each room for custom climate control. Free laundry in the basement.

Rented and managed directly by the owner, a long-time occupant—no brokers, property managers, or broker fee. Easy walking access to the Green Line (B/C/D), 57 Bus to Kenmore, and 501 Express to downtown.
