Walk to Harvard Medical School: Renovated 2BR Brownstone, No Broker Fee

Description

Beautifully renovated 2-bedroom, 1-bath condo on the third floor of a classic Boston brownstone at 390 Riverway APT 16, directly across from the Emerald Necklace and steps from the Longwood Medical Area. Quiet, bright, and ideal for a visiting scholar, clinician, or research fellow who wants to walk to work: Harvard Medical School, the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Brigham and Women's, Beth Israel Deaconess, Boston Children's, and Dana-Farber are all minutes away on foot, with Simmons, Emmanuel, MassArt, MCPHS, and Wentworth close behind. Northeastern is a short walk, and BU is a few minutes up the Green Line or Buses #66, 47, and 65. Practical details: $3,600 per month, unfurnished, though the owner is glad to connect incoming tenants with trusted local professionals for furnishing or furniture rental. Heat, hot water, water, and sewer are included, so there are fewer accounts to set up on arrival; the tenant pays electricity and internet (Comcast, Verizon Fios, or Starry). Move-in is first and last month only, $7,200 total, with no security deposit, no broker fee, no application fee, and no credit-check fee. Available now with a flexible start date, and lease terms fit the academic calendar: end dates of May 31, 2027, July 31, 2027, or August 31, 2027 all work, with an extended term through May 31, 2028 also possible. No smoking of any kind. No cats; dogs are considered case by case. Street parking is by City of Boston resident permit, though many residents here happily go car-free with the E and D Lines nearby. The building is calm and well kept, with professional neighbors, on-site laundry, and professional management. There is common bike storage in the basement, and storage lockers are available to rent from management. Olmsted Park and the Riverway paths are at the door for a morning run or an unwinding walk along the water, and Brookline Village and the Fenway are minutes away for restaurants and everyday errands. The unit is thoughtfully renovated: granite countertops, cherry shaker cabinetry, stainless steel appliances including a dishwasher and induction cooktop, and a breakfast bar in the kitchen, plus a marble-tile bathroom. The living room has gleaming hardwood floors, exposed brick, high ceilings, and a sun-filled bay window. The primary bedroom opens to a private deck through a sliding glass door, and the second bedroom, with built-in shelving, makes an excellent study or home office. The owner is an academic (neuroscience PhD with a Harvard-affiliated research background) who understands visiting-scholar timelines, and the unit is professionally managed and responsively maintained. Video walkthroughs are available for remote applicants.
