📍 551 E. 6th St., South Boston (East Side)
Available September 1st (Year lease)
Looking for a furnished, move-in-ready home in one of South Boston's best neighborhoods—without the typical roommate experience?
This is a fully furnished master suite with a private en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet in a beautifully renovated 1,700 sq. ft., two-floor duplex condo.
Why This Home Is Different
I've owned this condo since 2018 and have rented to young professionals ever since. Creating a safe, comfortable, low-maintenance home where everyone enjoys living is something I genuinely care about, and I've been fortunate to have wonderful tenants over the years. Many have stayed longer than expected because they loved the living situation—including my current roommate, Peter, who recently renewed after living here for the past 1.5 years.
Unlike most shared apartments, this home is occupied very lightly.
Peter is an easygoing young professional who works and travels frequently, so he's typically home less than 40% of the time.
I'm the owner/landlord, not a full-time roommate. I spend approximately six months each year living in Florida, and even when I'm in Boston, I'm only at the condo about 40% of the time.
The result is a home that often feels like your own furnished apartment. Most days you'll have the kitchen, living room, patio, and common spaces largely to yourself while still paying room pricing instead of full-apartment rent.
As an added bonus, I'm a Boston native, formerly worked for the Boston Celtics, and now own a concierge company. I'm always happy to help with local recommendations, restaurants, sporting events, concerts, or anything else that makes getting settled in Boston easier.

Who This Is Perfect For
This home is ideal for someone who:
Is new to Boston and wants an easy landing spot
Appreciates a furnished, move-in-ready home
Is clean, respectful, and easygoing
Enjoys a quiet, friendly household over a party apartment
Wants the convenience of roommates with the privacy of having the home to themselves much of the time
No live-in couples. Occasional guests are welcome.
If this sounds like a good fit, send me a quick introduction about yourself, what you do for work, your expected move-in date, and anything else you'd like to share. LinkedIn or social media profiles are always appreciated—I enjoy getting to know prospective tenants before scheduling showings. (Text is fine or set up a call/facetime)
