House | Private Space
Available Dates:

Description

I am offering a three-room suite on the third floor of my single-family house, shared with me, my dog Stella, and one other roommate. The suite has a large office/living room space, a dressing room, and a bedroom. The rental is available for ONE PERSON only. The rent includes Wi-Fi, utilities, and shared-use house supplies, which I purchase as needed. The space is rented unfurnished, yet some furniture is available if needed. The house is a large, three-story home with lots of windows, hardwood floors, two front porches, and a backyard area. My home is in the Tufts Medford area, with neighborhood shortcuts to campus and the new MBTA GreenLineT for easy access to Boston. The MBTA Bus to Harvard Square is steps away and provides easy access to the MBTA RedLine, Davis Square, Porter Square, Kendall MIT, Cambridge and Boston, and the Commuter Rail. Interstate 93 is half a mile away. The house is within walking distance of Medford's three main areas for coffee shops: restaurants, CVS, banking, post office, etc. It is also within walking distance of Whole Foods and a few smaller convenience grocers. Somerville is a ~15-minute walk. STELLA! Stella is my four-year-old DEAF Boxer. Stella loves people yet will mostly ignore you if you ignore her, and she sticks close to me. Stella was born deaf, and her safety is my priority. Keeping the front gate closed is vital, and being conscious of her safety is essential. She'prettyly easygoing :-) I have a fully furnished home, so the suite is best for someone without extensive home furnishings. The basement has minimal storage. There is a free washer and dryer in the house. There is on-street parking, and no resident sticker is currently required. The house has a backyard and two porches. There is a yard cleanup and snow removal service. I do not provide individual AC window units (yet I believe one unit is available on the third floor). The house is pretty comfortable year-round, with many windows, porch doors, etc., but there isn't central air. I would love to rent to someone friendly, busy, out and about, and looking for a long-term (1 year or longer) situation.
