9 Oak St #1, Cambridge, MA 02139

Luxurious one bedroom apartment, new construction 3 years ago. In-unit laundry, shared garden patio, off-street parking included. No fee. Elegantly finished with tile, radiant floor heating throughout, basecap designs, and other accents, this is the basement unit of a three-unit building, but has windows in every room and great natural light. It also has programmable ceiling lights in every room, as you can see in the pictures. If you'd like to see it, please send me your full name, profession, and direct email address -- and the same for your partner if you'd be sharing the place. Then I'll reply and we can set up a visit. Be sure to read all of this text first, too. The air is clean and dry. For the summer, there is central air conditioning, and for the winter, forced hot air and also radiant floor heating throughout the entire unit. This building was totally rebuilt 3 years ago, but the basement has been inhabited as a unit for more than 30 years and has never had problems with moisture, water, or mold. It was sealed with drainage etc. during construction in 2022. The ceiling height is 90.5". The rooms feel very bright during the day. The bedroom has a glass door to an egress stairway with a skylight, so this door lets in a ton of sunlight. The location is incredible, in the heart of Inman Square (but quiet). Very close to Harvard College, Kendall Square, and MGH. The house is on a small quiet street, but it's just steps from the center of Inman Square. Inman Square is the coolest spot in Cambridge. From the house, you could throw a baseball at the post office, a hardware store, the 1369 Coffee Shop, The Druid Irish pub, the famous Lilypad (live music venue), and lots of other great spots. From the front door, you can see the venerable S and S deli, about 100 feet away. This is a beautiful apartment with high-end appliances, including top-notch in-unit washer and dryer, dishwasher, and gas range. It is located in a 3-unit building. Sound insulation between the units is excellent. The entire building is insulated with 10" of spray-foam, so energy efficiency and sound deadening are excellent. Tankless on-demand hot water heaters also maximize efficiency and provide limitless hot water. Heating is via a brand-new forced hot air system, and the unit has central air conditioning. The floors are porcelain tile, and have radiant heating. Yes, you read that right: in addition to central heating, the entire unit has heated floors, with several different thermostat-controlled zones. The kitchen has tons of cabinets, a beautiful tile backsplash, a gas range, a microwave, a dishwasher, and black granite countertops. The bathroom is large and very comfortable, with a deep, modern bathtub. It has beautiful matte black penny tiles on the floor and one wall, and a custom vanity with a white granite top. Yes, the floor of the bathroom is heated and has its own thermostat! Please refer to the floor plan, shown in the Images section of this posting. The ample living room has a 55" OLED TV on a moveable wall-mount, already installed. This unit gets one parking spot (no additional charge). You have to be comfortable sharing your keys with the residents of the other units, so that you can move each other's cars out of the way to get out. Living in Cambridge, you can also get a resident parking sticker, and can simply park on the street, if you prefer. (We live nearby and do not have off-street parking, and we don't find parking on the street to be inconvenient at all.) There is a nice outdoor patio for cooking and dining al fresco, and I maintain the garden, which you can see in the pictures. Tenant pays all utilities. Due at lease signing is first month's rent, last month's rent, and security deposit, totaling $8,850. No one may repost this listing. Any attempts to scam will be traced and reported to the police. No smoking, no pets. Owner pays water/sewage and renter pays all other utilities.
