The current plan is to offer either a 12-month or 15-month renewal after that term. All utilities + WiFi included. A layout of the apartment is featured in the pictures, and I have a detailed video of the apartment that I'll share in response to your inquiry. Features of the apartment: - NO BROKER'S FEE (I am the owner and manager) - ALL UTILITIES INCLUDED in rent: Electricity, Gas (Heat, Stove), Water, and WiFi (RCN Gigabit) - FREE Laundry in basement - Wired Internet in the living room and bedroom, perfect for working from home! - Recently renovated bathroom - New fridge - Back porch (pictured) - Amazing view (pictured) - Wood floors - Nest thermostat - Small backyard, perfect for small gatherings - ~75 sqft landing at top of stairs by unit entrance, furnished with a bench for shoes/coats - 3 closets, one of which is quite large The apartment is a short walk to Assembly Row, the East Somerville Green Line Station, the Somerville Community Bike Path, and the Sullivan Square Orange Line Station, where you can pick up the Orange Line or numerous buses into the surrounding areas (e.g. Davis, Harvard, Kendall/MIT, Central); see the map in the attached pictures. You can also walk to MIT in 30 minutes. The unit has a sizable bedroom and living room as well as an efficiently designed kitchen and bathroom. The closets are also very large relative to the rest of the apartment. The location is excellent, and the building is set far back from its one-way street, so pedestrian and car noise is minimal. The apartment is on the top floor so noise from other units is also minimal. Please reach out to me with a little bit of information about yourself to set up a showing. After that you can apply (credit and background check will be conducted); feel free to ask any questions as well. Happy apartment hunting! 9-month lease. All Utilities and WiFi included.
