85 Houston Ave · Apartments for Rent

Classic Milton two-family with the original character intact. Gleaming hardwood runs through the entire unit, and the thick moldings, paneled doors, and period trim are all still there. Two full bedrooms, each with a ceiling fan and closet space, plus a separate living room that works just as easily as a third bedroom, office, or nursery if you need the flex. The enclosed sunroom is the best room in the place, windows on three sides with French doors that let the light spill into the rest of the floor. There's a formal dining room with a chandelier, and an eat-in kitchen with granite counters, stainless gas range, dishwasher, and tile floor. Tiled bath with a tub and shower, a window, and a linen closet in the hall. Steam heat throughout. Coin-operated washer and dryer right outside the unit door, so laundry never leaves the building. Private entry off the front porch. The owner lives in the first-floor unit and keeps the property in great shape, which means anything that comes up gets handled the same day instead of going through a management company. Quiet residential street in Milton, close to the Blue Hills, and an easy run into the city.
