Light-filled space with a treehouse feel

Description

This is a freshly furnished 2-bedroom apartment on the second floor of a fantastically located condo building, with the owner living downstairs. There are hardwood floors, the apartment gets great light, and you feel like you're living in the treetops! The unit has a porch that gets killer sunsets. I'm looking to rent each bedroom separately to visiting scholars for a semester or academic year at a time. There's a beautiful backyard with a large garden, hammock, and grill for sharing. This arrangement would be ideal if you're here for a research visit or program and like the idea of shared common space, both indoors and out. Free washer/dryer in basement, and some extra storage space down there if needed. Each renter has a separate desk. Smaller bedroom is quite small -- fits a full-sized bed, corner closet with shelving, armchair, and a freestanding bookcase, with desk just outside the room. Rent is $2000/month. Larger bedroom has a queen-sized bed, nightstand, large shelving system, and walk-in closet, plus desk is adjustable to standing or sitting. Rent is $2200/month. It is a short walk to Fresh Pond Reservoir, which is a local favorite outdoor spot. Great restaurants in the neighborhood, both highbrow and lowbrow. There's a bus stop right on the corner, and multiple buses run the short distance to Harvard Square. The Radcliffe Institute is even closer. By bike, it's 6 minutes to Harvard, 15 minutes to Tufts, 15 minutes to MIT, and 18 minutes to BU. If you reach out about this listing, please let me know what about this situation sounds like a good fit for you!
