Cambridge 3 BR house near Harvard & MIT-min 2 mos rental summer of 2024

Description

Our cozy home is ideally situated halfway between Harvard and MIT, and close to both Inman and Central Squares. It’s a short walk to subway, buses, food stores, shops, cafes, pubs, restaurants, live entertainment; an easy drive to Boston along and has quick access to interstates 90 & 93. It's one of the rare single-family houses on a quiet block of late 19th century homes, and it’s directly across the street from a small park and playground. Set back from the street in the middle of the block, it offers quiet and privacy and lots of outdoor space. The shady backyard is a red brick patio equipped for outdoor dining and is enclosed by a cedar privacy fence. The front porch opens to another brick patio and a sunny garden of vegetables and flowers, available for the picking. The interior features natural wood floors, handmade rugs, photography, folk art, and original decorative tin ceilings. The ground floor includes a modern kitchen & pantry, a half bath, front and rear entries, and an open dining room/living room area. The second floor features: a master bedroom (queen size bed) with attached sun porch/office area with access to a small deck above the garden; a full bath (with old fashion claw foot tub), a second bedroom with double bed, the TV/family room. Up the stairs to the third floor is a third bedroom with a queen size bed, skylight and its own bath. The house is cooled by mini-split heat pumps (except for the smaller 2nd floor bedroom, which has a window air conditioner). There are ceiling fans throughout. Amenities include a washer and dryer in the basement; Xfinity wireless & cable TV with free access to a variety of online streaming apps.
