14 Hardy St, Waltham, MA 02453

Available on May 1st! Newly updated house with neutral color scheme, subway tiles, white quartz, small backyard and combo brick/concrete patio, south-facing - the works! Live in a quality home without the luxury prices! We've put a lot of work into this place and are happy to share it. A bit about the roommates: There are currently 2 males and 1 female on the first and second floors of the house, all young professionals. They are all extremely clean and very friendly. There are also another couple in the basement in-law apartment; they have their own bathroom and, though they have the option, rarely venture to the 1st floor to use the kitchen. You would essentially be sharing the house with the three other roommates on the 1st and 2nd floor, each with ample private space. The kitchen and living room are generally furnished, so you would not need to contribute in terms of furniture unless you want to. There is free washer and dryer for laundry in the shared, unfurnished basement area and plenty of storage. A good fit in this household would be college students or young working professionals. Tenants must be non-smokers and drug-free. The room for rent is on the second floor, and is the largest room in the house (hence the price, and why we call it the master - it's double the size of the next largest bedroom). It features a cool purple color that has been commented as very relaxing. There is also a generous double closet and three windows for ample natural lighting. Tenants should expect a lease until the summer with the option to renew for another year - exact end date is flexible. Rent will be due at the beginning of each month of $1,100. Tenants will need to pay first and last month's rent, plus a refundable security deposit of $750 upon signing. The signing deposit is flexible in terms of timing but could factor against other interested parties who are able to pay the signing requirement. Utilities costs will be shared and paid (not included in standard rent) among all tenants equally, and will include internet, heat (oil), water/sewage, and electricity. One item to mention since I know this is a dealbreaker for many - there is only one bathroom on the first and second floor. You'd be sharing this bathroom with three other roommates, all who are very neat and generally have differing schedules. Therefore the bathroom is kept clean and very clutter free, and has been complete updated. There also hasn't been many problems having four people share one bathroom because of this, but we wanted to be frank and not waste time with people searching for a different situation. Location is great - just minutes walk away from a busy plaza and grocery stores, very close to a bus stop that will bring you into Boston, and a short drive away from Route 95 and Mass Pike. Location is also very close to Main Street and Moody Street, and would be a perfect area for any incoming Bentley / Brandeis students! Pets will be allowed subject to agreement with the landlord (depending on the size and breed, the pet may not be allowed despite the house being pet friendly). However, we cannot accept dogs after prior incidents that have occurred, including the abuse of ESA animals. Only true service dogs can be allowed that assists with a disability. For any other pets, there will however be a one-time non-refundable pet fee of $150 (to account for additional wear and tear due to pets). In addition, there will be a pet rent of $50 per month. Please email with any questions or concerns - it's a great household, and we'd love it if we could have a housemate that wants to be friends! Thank you! Tenant pays for all utilities. One year (or more) lease term - option to end in summer 2026 or fall 2026.
