ABOUT UNIT A - 1300sf (1st floor) with 1-2 bedrooms + additional storage space in the basement. Now only $1900/mo plus utilities (reduced by $400) Trash service & snow removal included. UNIT A LAYOUT: Generously sized bedroom on the 1st floor with tons of closet space along one full wall. There is another bedroom with a closet that is very small (so technically a bedroom, but more like an office). HOWEVER, this unit has both a full size dining room at the front of the house and a living room with a door off of the kitchen, which the prior tenants used as a second bedroom (thus using the front room as their living room and the second bedroom as an office). The eat-in kitchen is large and bright with a corner breakfast nook. This unit has sole access to the bone-dry cement poured basement with ample storage space and its own laundry. WHY TOWNSEND: Townsend is a rural town with an active community, just 16 min from Fitchburg, 25 min from Nashua, and 45 min from Worcester. It is fairly quaint with only one (or two?) traffic light(s) and several antique stores but not without its own Hanaford grocery store, restaurants, McDonalds, and coming soon… Starbucks! The Library and Senior Center are of the most active in this region and they are close to the house, as are Police & Fire-EMS. WHY THIS HOUSE: Have pets? Bring them here (up to 3 indoor pets of any size per unit with a pet security deposit). This house does not feel like an apartment. This 2-unit house feels like home. It is nestled on a hill overlooking the beautiful Townsend Common with a yard and front porch to watch/attend all of the year-round band concerts and sponsored festivities on the common. There are walking trails along the Squannacook River within a minute walk of the house- you may even spot an eagle or two! The front rooms are south facing with direct sunlight and there are 2-3 paved off-street parking spots per unit. HOW TO APPLY: You must complete an online application first at: www avail co apply nsxWjiw Minimum credit score of 640, three references, no criminal record, proof of funds for 1st mo rent + $1500 security deposit + $500 pet deposit (if applicable), and monthly income verification required.

This 1600 ft unit is one of two units in a 2-family home on the beautiful Townsend Common with a front porch to watch all of the festivities. The unit consists of the second and third floors. A generously sized bedroom on the 2nd floor has a large walk-in closet and there are two bedrooms on the third floor with nice deep closets- great for storing luggage and out of season clothes behind your current wardrobe. Those two bedrooms are the same size (mirror layout) and there is a large landing between them spanning the length of both bedrooms (we call that our craft room). Back down on the second floor, there is another giant room behind the kitchen that could easily be used as a fourth bedroom or a large game room (p.s. there is a bar built onto the staircase half wall). The kitchen, family room, and bathroom (with stackable washer/dryer) are all also on the second floor. Off-road, driveway parking for 3 vehicles. Only first month rent plus $1500 security deposit due when sign lease. Up to 3 pets of any size welcome with an additional pet security deposit of $500. Minimum credit score of 640, references, and clear background check required. Viewings by appointment only. Call 978-252-3737 anytime to schedule viewings on weekdays between 5-9pm or upon availability on weekends. We also have a 1300sf two bedroom unit in the same house available for $2,300.
