Description

Our home is relaxing and quiet, surrounded by trees and within easy walking distance of some amazing parts of Cambridge and Somerville (Harvard, Union Square, and more). We have three main bedrooms (two with very comfortable full/king beds, one is a child's room with a twin bed) and one extra office which can also be set up as a young child's room. We have a spacious kitchen and living room for relaxing, a basement play room, and a small private yard. The furnished basement is not included in the listed square footage and adds an extra full room. Our home is well set up for remote work: good WiFi, desks in the two main bedrooms with connectable monitors, and more. We have central A/C, an electrically controlled fireplace, large TV with streaming services, an outdoor grill, and plenty of comforts. If you're musical, please play our keyboard! Please note for accessibility: Our home is 3 floors (plus the basement). Primary bedroom (king bed) and office / toddler room are on the 3rd floor; the other bedrooms are on the 2nd floor. The stairs are wide and comfortable to walk, but there is no bedroom on the ground floor. We are about 15 minutes walking distance from both the Green and Red line trains (in opposite directions), and several buses including the 109, 83, and 87 stop within 2 blocks of our house. There's a Blue Bike station 2 blocks away with easy access to MIT and across the river. We have off-street parking in a garage and our driveway.
