    Fully furnished, beautiful, convenient, and comfortable oasis near Harvard Square! Renovated with designer-selected finishes throughout. Everything is provided for you, for an easy move and a comfortable stay! The rental price includes furnishings, linens, full kitchen, and more. Just bring your clothes and your toothbrush! Located in a historic building with an unparalleled location next door to the Harvard University campus, this beautiful and tastefully furnished unit has two large bedrooms, original hardwood floors, high ceilings, ample custom storage, large windows, and great natural lighting. The unit has an open floor plan, with the bedrooms separated from the living areas for a great flow through the space. The unit was renovated in 2023 with a brand new bathroom and designer-selected finishes, color palette, and lighting throughout. The look is modern, fresh, and peaceful, but also classic, timeless, and historic. You'll live within steps of numerous local shops and restaurants, as well as beautiful parks and world-class museums. The building is also walkable to grocery stores, hardware stores, gyms, bookstores, and more. This is a beautiful, safe, and historic neighborhood with many period homes and university buildings. The Harvard Square T stop, Harvard shuttle buses, and local city buses are all just a short walk away. A car is not needed, but resident permit parking is available on side streets if desired. The building is set back from Mass Ave, and the unit overlooks a courtyard, so inside it is peaceful and quiet even as you are steps from the action. The apartment comes fully equipped with everything you need for a turnkey experience -- including all furniture, decor, TV, bed and bath linens, dishes, silverware, kitchen appliances, AC, and more. There is a custom Elfa closet system installed, as well as ample additional custom storage throughout the unit. The kitchen is equipped with a Bosch dishwasher, and laundry facilities are available on site. The building has professional management. No pets and no smoking allowed anywhere on the premises, per condominium complex rules. Heat and hot water are included in the rent.
