    Room details

    ~June QUIET Room in 3BR/1BA NO FEE, All Util.+WiFi Included Video Tour Start date is flexible since the current tenant moving out has flexibility; let me know what works best for you. I have a detailed video tour I can share in response to your inquiry. Room B (~140 sqft) is available on or around June 1, 2025 for a one year lease. The apartment is a 3BD/1BA on the second floor, see pictures/layout, all utilities included: Features of the apartment: - All utilities included in rent: Electricity, Gas (Heat, Stove), Water, and WiFi (RCN Gigabit). Note that utility costs have increased substantially from last year, and locking in a room with utilities included like this one mitigates price uncertainty in global energy markets with recent tariffs. - Free laundry in basement with a newer washing machine and brand new dryer - Short ~7 minute walk to both Orange Line and Green Line T/subway (Green Line stop new as of October 2021) - Quiet: Minimal car/pedestrian noise since building is behind another building and back from the street; it's nice - Two porches: front and back - Bathroom renovated a few years ago - Wood floors - Security camera on front of building - Private lockable storage room in basement - Small backyard, perfect for small gatherings/grilling - Great view of Boston (pictured) The apartment is ~950 sqft on the second floor of the building, and the room for rent is one of three bedrooms. See the attached picture for the layout of the apartment. The other two roommates are super friendly and have been living in the apartment for one year and four years respectively. Both are guys in their late 20s. One works at Whole Foods, and the other works remotely with customers at a computer company. The apartment itself is a short walk to Assembly Row, the East Somerville Green Line Station, 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 three bedrooms as well as an efficiently designed kitchen, pantry, and bathroom. The apartment on the first floor (directly below) have three nice folks in a similar living situation to the second floor. Please reach out to me with a little bit of information about yourself to set up a showing and meet your potential roommates. After that you can apply (credit and background check will be conducted); feel free to ask any questions as well. Happy apartment hunting! All utilities + wifi included, no pets. 12-month lease.
