Furnished bedroom available May 1st in a gorgeous art deco house on Brookings Street. Bedroom has a full-sized bed, desk, bookshelves, gorgeous hardwood floors, a spacious closet, and a huge window. The house is spacious with tons of light, art deco windows, a large reading room, a backyard patio and front yard gardens with another patio. Everything is fully furnished, so it feels like an Airbnb. This is a three-story house with three bedrooms and three bathrooms. It's very quiet, peaceful and friendly, ideal for academics, writers, or others who want their home be a respite of peace and quiet. I host a dean who rents a room as her pied-a-terre when in town, and have rented in the past to post-docs, professors, and other working professionals from around the world. In the house, we're often passionately (and quietly) neck deep in the work we're doing, so while we are friendly, we're not very social. :-) Utilities and biweekly housecleaning is $200/month. Includes: - Heat, Electricity, High-speed internet (1 Gigabit) - All household goods (soap, toilet paper, etc.). - Housecleaners come twice per month and clean all common areas and bathrooms. - Hulu and Netflix - Free high-capacity washer and dryer - Sheets/linens/towels provided if needed - Window A/C Getting Around: * ½ mile walk to Tufts University and Green line subway * 10-minute bus ride (#96) to Davis Square/Red Line subway * 20-minute bus ride (#96) to Harvard * On-street parking, no permit required Nearby: We have a local park, tennis courts, and basketball court one block away. We're also three miles from Shannon Beach at Mystic Lake and three miles from hiking in the Fells Reservation. Our neighborhood is quiet and beautiful with excellent paths for walking/running/meandering. Whole Foods a 3/4 mile away, and there are grocery stores in Davis Sq & Porter Sq that have the 96 bus running from there directly to the end of our block. If interested, please e-mail me with a little bit about you and including one of your favorite books so I know you read the whole listing. :-) People of color, international academics, women, and people of all genders and sexual orientations are encouraged to inquire. Thanks!
