$5,500/month

Set on a private square on the flat of Beacon Hill, this home opens through its own private entrance, on a block where the walking is easy. Inside, an open one-bedroom layout with a flexible bonus room that works as a home office, studio, or guest space, alongside a fireplaced living room and a separate dining area. Wood floors run throughout, and there is an in-unit washer and dryer for everyday ease. Off the kitchen and living room, a bank of sliding glass doors opens to a private patio, your own outdoor room in the middle of the neighborhood, ready for morning coffee, evening hosting, or simply a place to step outside, and reached by a quiet walkway that keeps the home feeling tucked away. Charles Street's shops and cafes, Boston Common and the Public Garden, the Esplanade, MGH, and the Red Line are all an easy stroll from the door. A private entrance, private patio, and Beacon Hill square address are a rare combination at this price. Available September 1.
