This is a 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment of about 850 square feet on the first floor of a four-unit building at 70 Melville Street, Unit 1, in Fall River's St. Anne's Hospital neighborhood. You get three real bedrooms, a kitchen, living space, and one full bath — no stairs between the sidewalk and your door. The landlord pays water and sewer. You pay electricity through National Grid (800-322-3223), plus gas, heat, and hot water through Liberty Utilities (1-800-544-4944), along with cable and internet. Heat is a gas space heater, not a building boiler; cooling is window AC. The kitchen includes a stove and a refrigerator. There is no laundry in the apartment or the building. There is no off-street parking; curb parking on Melville Street only. Pets are considered on a case-by-case basis. Rent is $1,750 on a Tenant At Will (month-to-month) lease. The security deposit is $1,750 and last month's rent is $0, so move-in is $3,500. Lead paint status is listed as unknown.
