Description

About the Space Experience the entire third floor of a newly renovated Victorian-era home, originally a single-family residence converted into a two-family home in the 1920’s. This 2nd/3rd floor spacious unit underwent a two-year interior renovation, with the third floor thoughtfully designed with visiting friends/guests in mind. Upon entering the home's common foyer, ascend the stairs to your electronically locked private foyer. Beyond, find a landing leading to another flight of private stairs, granting access to your well-appointed space. The unit features a comfortable queen-sized bedroom with two large eaves closets, an all-white and fresh petite bathroom, and a living area furnished with an antique settee set and a smart TV with Chromecast. Enjoy the sunny dry kitchenette with a treetop view, equipped with an under-cabinet refrigerator and freezer, microwave, K-Cup coffee maker, and electric tea kettle. This space is ideal for quick bites reheated in the microwave, or coffee offering views of the neighborhood's sunny mornings or twilight ambiance. There is no sink. For your convenience, there's a back office room perfect for Zoom calls or accommodating an occasional overnight guest. The suite is adorned with the owner's collection of art, reflecting Boston's history and international travels. While this third-floor space is not a separate apartment, it is well-separated from the owner's unit on the second floor. The owner primarily accesses their unit via the remaining servant staircase at the back of the home. The common foyer is shared with the owner's first-floor tenants and their lovely dog, as well as the owner for picking up daily mail. Term A minimum of 31 days and a maximum of a 3-month term (slightly longer if needed, please reach out). Thank you for understanding. (This is not a *short-term rental* rather, a mid-term rental >31 days .) What’s included? A new HVAC system has been installed to serve the third floor, providing convenient control over central air conditioning and heat. Wifi is included and functions effectively throughout the unit. All utilities are covered by the owner, and optional professional cleaning services are available on a weekly or bi-weekly basis for an additional fee. The owner can recommend pick-up/drop-off laundry services or suggest visiting the laundromat in Union Square. Location & Neighborhood This property offers unparalleled convenience to Cambridge, Somerville and Boston. Situated just 2 blocks from the Union Square Green Line T, residents enjoy easy access to public transportation, simplifying commutes to surrounding areas, downtown Boston and the main Massachusetts General Hospital campus. Additionally, the proximity to universities makes it an ideal location for mid-term visiting faculty, and staff. Union Square and Inman Square, known for their vibrant atmospheres, are just a short distance away, providing a variety of dining, shopping, and entertainment options. This prime location offers the best of city living with a blend of urban amenities and neighborhood charm. WalkScore® .com scores the home’s location: 97 - Walker’s Paradise 78 - Excellent Transit Score 98 - Biker’s Paradise Next Steps: If you would like to stay and we agree on availability - you will be asked to send a copy of your ID to me via email and then electronically sign (1.) Massachusetts approved lease, (2.) a list of agreed to Rules & Etiquette, (3.) a lead paint disclosure (the house was built in 1883 and the State requires this disclosure). Much of the lease does not apply and will be stricken. This is a “mid-term rental”, 31 days and over, there is no state tax because of these disclosures and agreements. I do ask for a non-refundable deposit to remove the listing from availability. Thanks for understanding!
