Fabulous living room, classy, large open kitchen with island. Fantastic dining room adjoining the kitchen on one side and a sliding door to the deck and yard.

There is a large space containing a washer and drier and laundry space and which also has substantial storage opportunities. On the right side of the stairway there is a large room which is perfect for a playroom (for kids), a pingpong table, or a "man cave" for multimedia television viewing. Finally, adjacent to the playroom is a reasonable size room perfect for a home office from where one can zoom to work. OUTDOOR SPACE: The lot size is 5,000 sq. ft. and the yard is unusually large, perfect for barbecuing, entertaining, playing badminton. The house has a good off-street driveway that can accommodate at least one car (and possibly two cars in tandem).

House may be available with one or more quality existing beds. LEASE TERMS: Price is $6,200 per month.

Lease required, to run for 12 or 13 months beginning July 1. Pets are negotiable. TRANSPORTATION: The house is located in the middle of a quiet street, but is close to major arteries: Garden St., Concord Ave., Walden St. and Huron Ave. You can walk to Harvard Square ( 20 minutes) or Porter Square (15 minutes), where you can meet up with the Red Line, a commuter rail line, and buses, while passing many beautiful houses. There are bus lines running on Concord Ave. between Walden St. and Harvard Sq. Shopping and Eating and Other Amenities: The Boudreau branch of the Cambridge Public Library at the end of the street. There are good opportunities for shopping and eating here in Huron Village within a few blocks. The Danehy Park complex, where one can jog, run fast, play soccer, baseball or basketball is just a few blocks away. Equally close is Raymond Park, which has a children's playground, serves as an off-leash dog park (during certain hours), is a venue for frisbee playing, and which provides the home for Cambridge Family Microsoccer (soccer for kids aged 4-6), and provides practice fields for some of Cambridge Youth Soccer's younger teams.
