Available now. Flexible lease terms. Utilities, laundry and bicycle storage included. No broker or application fee. GREAT LOCATION for area colleges or a downtown commute. A rare find. Quiet, cozy, safe, quality renovation of a fully furnished... self-contained rental unit in a Historic Registered farmhouse owned by "empty nesters" on a leafy residential side street in Newton Corner. Easy access via MBTA to Boston, Cambridge and other nearby towns. Off-street parking available for a fee. (Newton prohibits on-street parking in the winter months)
This well-appointed sunny unit is perfect for a grad student or faculty member at many of the area colleges -- BC Law School and the campus shuttle is a ten minute walk or 30 min walk to the main BC campus. Ten minute walk to the Express Bus to Boston. 20 minute walk to the MBTA's Green Line. Harvard or Brandeis are accessible by MBTA or a 15 minute drive.
You will have the entire self-contained furnished back 2nd floor wing of the house all to yourself. All utilities, Wi-Fi, sheltered bicycle parking and (free) laundry included, as well as fresh bed linens and towels and a fully equipped kitchenette. Just unpack your suitcase and you are all set. Smoke free and no pets allowed, but we do have a friendly Bernese Mountain Dog and an elderly small dog. Both stay downstairs. BC law students and Babson grad students who have enjoyed living here are glad to provide references.

You enter your recently renovated unit through a door at the bottom of your enclosed staircase. Upstairs you'll have four separate rooms, all off of your private hallway: On one side of your hallway is a bedroom with a high-quality Queen Sterns and Foster mattress, and a sitting/living room/study with a Stressless recliner, desk and chair. Across your hall is a recently gut-renovated bathroom with a frameless glass-enclosed deep soaking tub/shower and heated(!) tile floor; and a recently installed eat-in quartz-countertop kitchenette with a Breville Smart Oven Fryer Pro, glass-top induction burner, small refrigerator with separate freezer, microwave, electric kettle, pots, pans, etc. You are also welcome to use the side yard and share the clothes line that is there.

Highlights: VALUE! LOCATION! Newton is ranked "among the safest cities in America". We're in a lovely neighborhood close to Boston, Cambridge, Brookline, Watertown, Waltham and Wellesley with quick access to Logan Airport. 10 minute walk to the BC Law School campus where you can catch the shuttle bus to the main campus and the T's Green line. Centre Street's 52 bus is at our corner, or walk 10-15 minutes down Centre Street to the T's Express Buses with direct service to Copley Square or South Station/Financial District (502, 504, 553, 554), plus the 57 bus via Oak Square to BU. Newtonville and Newton Centre's Green Line are each a quick bike ride or 20 or 30 minute walk respectively, with several grocery stores and excellent restaurants and Commuter Rail/Green Line T-access.
