Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States
Rates from USD $3950 | Monthly

House | Entire Home
Available Dates:
From August 1, 2026 until February 28, 2027

Description

Bright, fully furnished 1,400 sq ft townhouse (2BR/2BA) in a quiet pocket of East Cambridge, available August 1 through Jan 31 with flexibility on start and end date. Ideal for a visiting scholar, fellow, or academic couple who wants a real home for a semester rather than a hotel — walkable to Kendall Square/MIT, a short ride to Harvard, and close to the Lechmere Green Line, with the Red Line and downtown Boston easily reached. The space is genuinely move-in ready — just bring a suitcase. It features a master suite, a second bedroom with a walk-in closet, two full bathrooms, and a dedicated home office (a real desk and quiet space to work, not an afterthought). There's a private patio for morning coffee, central air and heat, and a fully equipped kitchen with everything you'd need to cook — dishwasher, air fryer, pressure cooker, and full cookware. Full-size washer/dryer in the unit, fast wifi included, and the home is professionally cleaned before you arrive. Parking is a rare bonus here: a private driveway plus a visitor parking permit — two spaces in a neighborhood where street parking is scarce. For anyone who likes to train, there's also a fully equipped home gym (squat rack, barbell, and full plate set) available for use. $3,950/month, with utilities paid by the tenant (wifi included). First month's rent plus a one-month deposit due at signing. Best suited for 1–2 people. No pets, no smoking. References and a signed sublease required. My landlord is aware of and supportive of the sublet. Happy to share more photos and answer any questions — just reach out with your dates and a little about yourself.
