Spacious Private Lower-Level Living Space in Quiet MetroWest Home

Westborough, Massachusetts, United States
Rates from USD $1500 | Monthly

House | Private Space | House Sitting Requested
Available Dates:
From September 1, 2026

Description

I am offering a spacious, fully furnished private lower-level bedroom/living space in my home in Westborough, Massachusetts. The space is approximately 336 square feet and includes a private thermostat for independent heating and air conditioning. While the bathroom, kitchen, and laundry are shared, the lower level provides a comfortable sense of privacy for day-to-day living. My home is in a quiet residential neighborhood with convenient access to Worcester, Boston-area colleges and universities, hospitals, major highways, and the Westborough/Grafton MBTA commuter rail station, providing easy access to Boston and Worcester. It is well suited for a graduate student, visiting scholar, researcher, postdoctoral fellow, faculty member, or other professional seeking a peaceful place to live and work. I share my home with two friendly Pomeranians (dogs), two cats, and a small flock of backyard chickens (fresh eggs are available Spring-Fall). The atmosphere is relaxed, respectful, and generally quiet. Rent includes all utilities (electric, heat, hot water) Wi-Fi, streaming services, and one off-street parking space. A reduced rent may be available for someone willing to help with occasional pet care. I am looking for a respectful, responsible tenant for a minimum stay of ten months. The space is available beginning in late August, with some flexibility on the move-in date.
