Welcome to my home in South Boston - a 2-bedroom, 2-bath unit in a classic 4-unit Federal Colonial, just steps from the ocean and minutes to downtown Boston. The space is light-filled and inviting, with a kitchen under skylights and a gas range, a cozy sitting nook with fireplace, a dining room, and a living room with another fireplace for relaxing evenings. Two small decks offer fresh air, one furnished with a 2-person glider. This is a walkable neighborhood of multi-family homes, with a supermarket, library, pharmacy, and a variety of restaurants within ½ mile. Two large parks are just a 5-minute walk away, including one directly across from the beach. House rules: No smoking or vaping of any kind No pets Parking for a small car is available (no garage) Please care for a few houseplants during your stay Respectful use of fireplaces only This home is perfect for anyone who wants to experience Boston’s charm: a seaside walk in the morning, cultural adventures downtown in the afternoon, and a fireside evening to end the day.
