About this property

Relaxing 2-BR townhome steps to MIT, Harvard, T Red Line, food & more!

  • Make yourself at home in this delightful 2-bedroom retreat just outside Central Sq. Cambridge. With a comfortable living room, well-equipped kitchen, and outdoor space, guests will feel right at home. Enjoy the convenience of a washing machine, WiFi and workspace. Fall in love with Cambridge and its easy access to all that Greater Boston has to offer.

    This spectacular open space set back and among trees is set well off the street - the action in Central Sq. feels distant. But it is only 2.5 blocks away! The house is steps to the Red Line at Central Square, MIT, Harvard, the Charles River, great dining & music, groceries, vintage finds, and more - here's Boston University's good guide to Central Sq. establishments: http://bit.ly/4kOHVBn. Easy transit takes you to BU, Fenway Park, downtown Boston and beyond.

    Take advantage of the whole house - we live here when not traveling so everything you need is there. Help yourself to the spice drawer, sugar and other staples. Several grocery stores are within 0.5 miles. Choose from a queen-sized bed in the open primary bedroom on the top floor, or the comfortable full size futon on the ground floor.

    Ground floor:
    - Up just 1.5 steps to enter the house from the driveway
    - Flexible second bedroom and/or sitting room with workspace
    - Bathroom with shower
    - Direct access, through the sitting/bedroom and down one step, to the private and fenced-in yard.

    Main floor:
    - Full, eat-in kitchen outfitted with all the dishes, glasses, utensils, cookware, bakeware, and essentials (oils, spices, coffee, sugar, etc.) that you may need to make yourselves at home.
    - Living room with comfortable sectional sofa that includes two recliners. 40-inch TV with Roku, including Sling TV, and Amazon Prime Video. Books and a bookshelf stereo are also available for your at-home relaxation.
    - Balcony with comfortable seats for two to put their feet up and enjoy a book or a drink at the end of the day

    Top floor:
    - Comfortable queen sized bed
    - Sitting area to put your feet up and relax
    - Newly renovated bathroom with shower and laundry facilities

    A car isn't needed in this location, but parking is readily available on-street for free using our Visitor Parking pass or in nearby paid parking garages.
