Spacious, sunny room in a 2-bedroom Union Square home (Shared Housing)

Spacious, sun drenched bedroom in a 2 bedroom Somerville home for rent beginning 6/12 (move in negotiable). Located a short walk from Union Square, the apartment occupies the first floor of a large nineteenth-century home with high ceilings, large... windows, and wood flooring throughout. You'd be sharing a living room, dining room, butler's pantry, kitchen, bathroom, back porch, and washer and dryer access with a professional woman in her early 30s who values open communication and a clean and quiet home.

The available bedroom is large (15 x 12 ft), with large south and west facing windows that look out onto the street. Currently the room fits a double bed, dresser, two bookshelves, desk, and wardrobe very comfortably. Other perks include two charming period sconces over a bricked-in fireplace and small hanging chandelier. As the space was once a living room there are no closets. However, the current tenant will be selling her large Ikea wardrobe to the next tenant at a reasonable cost.

This rental is perfect for someone who wants a small home office in their bedroom or would benefit from the extra space. The room is $1200/month with utilities ranging from $100-200/ month depending on the season.

The apartment is located 20-25 minutes walking or 10-15 biking distance to Harvard and MIT, and 2 minutes from Union Square with access to multiple bus routes, the MBTA Green line, city bikes, coffee shops, gyms, post office, banks, restaurants, grocery stores and other amenities.

12-month lease + one month security deposit, beginning with an additional sublet over the summer. Renter is permitted to sublet once over the lease period.

No pets allowed, sadly, but there are always bunnies in the yard! Read More
