Beautiful Apartment with Heat and Hot Water
Available on July 1st 2017
Charm you can adore!
My apartment was a old Spice Mill that operated until 1976. It is very unique with a certain charm. It is located right on a creek... literally on top of the creek. It is almost it's own island, which make it more private than you would think. The first floor is still considered a museum although for people come through. There are only one bedrooms and studios in the building, which really cater to the young professional. The residents are all very friendly and have a very tight community. ..... If you like a tight community and historic buildings it is a wonderful place to call home!

2004 Gut and converted to apartments by Robert Brooker
Slade's Mill Apartments is in a historic building, which is located at 770 Revere Beach Parkway at the border of Chelsea and Revere. It was converted from Slade’s Mill originally built in 1721 as a tidal powered grist mill. The building was gut renovated in 2003-2004 into its present use.
​
The renovation of the building incorporated some of the original features of the spice mill. The building houses pieces of historic equipment, artifacts, and signs. The first floor has a big shared space great for the community gathering and a museum for an appointment. Most units feature the original hardwood floors and some have exposed wood/fixtures from when the mill was in operation. Other attractive features, in some units, include exposed brick walls, cathedral ceilings, loft, and water views of Mill Creek. It is safe due to it's own island with security camera monitoring. It cannot be replicated in its current form and its distinctive features to be a unique community which should continue to attract and retain professionals who work in Boston area to live with a pride.
