36 Howard St #2, Cambridge, MA 02139

This is a nicely-renovated, de-leaded, 3-bedroom apartment, with a private deck, and a beautiful garden shared with one other unit. Available starting any time between July 1 and September 1, 2025. No fee. The bathroom is enormous, and has a washer-dryer inside. Full kitchen with dishwasher. There is an outdoor bike shed. Certified lead-free. Free off-street parking. If you are interested, please begin by sending me the full names, professions, and direct email addresses of all who would live in the place. The location is near the intersection of Western Ave. and Howard St., on a quiet street. It is midway between the Charles river and Cambridge's Central Square (City Hall, etc.). Prime location, walking distance to Harvard College, Harvard Business School, and MIT. To MGH, it is 2.3 miles, and 2.6 miles to the Longwood Medical Area. It is about a seven minute walk to the Red Line train station at Central Square. Whole Foods is a five minute walk. Very close to lots of pubs and nice restaurants, shopping, and everything else. All three bedrooms have really nice bay windows. The front bedroom is enormous and has an office inside. The middle bedroom is also enormous. The rear bedroom is average size (please see floor plan), accommodates a queen bed and a small desk, and has an "open concept" closet, designed by a former tenant who was an architect. The apartment has excellent central air conditioning. You have your own private outdoor deck on the second floor, but the backyard, and the 3-car driveway, are shared with the first-floor unit. I actively maintain the garden, and there are lots of nice plants and a nice lawn. The first-floor tenants are a nice professional couple, and I'm committed to finding quiet, respectful people for the unit above them. No smoking, no pets. Please look at the pictures and floor plans provided in before reaching out. Note the size of the common area. The kitchen is huge, while the living room is on the small side. It accommodates a full-size sofa, end tables, and a couple easy chairs, but you won't be having Macarena parties. Due at signing is first month's rent, last month's rent, and security deposit, totaling $14,400. Tenants pay all utilities. Sufficient income and a good credit score required, but if you're a student or young professional and don't have that, you can have a guarantor on the lease. Tenant pays all utilities.
