Neighborhood notes

Tenants have full access to the basement, laundry hookups, and included appliances. The house sits in one of the quietest parts of Kenmore and backs up to green space, school property, and new pickleball courts.

The Kenmore village strip is about a five-minute drive down Nassau and offers bars, restaurants, King Condrell's, Spot Coffee, and the well-known piano gazebo. Kenmore balances a quaint feel with practical amenities like the library, police station, Mercy Hospital, and village services.

A personal note

275 Nassau Upper next door is where the landlord lived from 2014 through 2018, so the block is especially familiar. It is the kind of street where walking, biking, and chatting with neighbors feels easy, and that sense of comfort is part of what makes this property special.
