    What's special

    Rarely on market! This sunny basement apartment in a gorgeous Queen Anne historic home offers an affordable pied a terre in Cambridge. HEAT, HOT WATER, ELECTRICITY, GAS INCLUDED in rent. One bed, one bath, cunning interior storage, large built-in bookshelves, gorgeous DR table, and small but attractive kitchen with new stove. Yes, it's a basement unit, but it's SUNNY with windows on all sides and with impeccably clean white curtains. Completely repainted and cleaned. The unit has its own pathway and entrance all in a beautifully maintained yard that may remind you of Andrew Marvell's poem "The Garden." Near Mass. Ave. shops and restaurants. Between Harvard and Porter Squares. Landlady lives upstairs. Video available if you send your email. This property has not been available for 15 years. The lease is one year with the option to renew if both parties agree to terms. The property comes with heat, hot water, electricity, and gas included. It is a sunny basement unit with windows on all sides. Use of outdoors per the discretion of the landlady. No grilling. The second egress is through the owner's unit. There is a Landlord's Addendum (basic house rules) that attaches to the lease and is contractual. If rented by a couple, the lease is signed "jointly and severally," which means if one party leaves, the other is responsible for full rent. Parking on street with Visitor's Pass or Cambridge Permit. The location is near Mass. Ave., stores, services, public transportation, yet quiet and beautiful.
