About 278 Washington St #3
Sweet deal!
This listing is 20% below the median price for 3 bedroom apartments in Area IV.
Not fancy, but solid unit in great location. Laid out with rooms coming off a mail hallway. Three decent sized bedrooms. Washer dryer is in the kitchen. Super convenient location. Amazing space as a two bed + study and and as a three bedroom the third bedroom is a bit smaller but it is legit for a roommate. Hard to find laundry in unit in this location for this kind of price. Well managed building (Reference #128514)
