    Room details

    9/1 RENOVATED Room 3BR/1BA, NO FEE, All Util.+WiFi Incl. Video Tour I have a detailed video tour I can share in response to your inquiry. Room A (~135 sqft) is available for move-in Sept. 1, 2025 for a nine-month lease ending May 31, 2026. The current plan is to offer either a 12-month or 15-month renewal after that term. The apartment is a 3BD/1BA on the second floor, see pictures/layout, all utilities included: Features of the apartment: - RECENTLY RENOVATED: Bathroom all new, renovated kitchen, new stove and cabinets, completely rewired electrical - WIRED INTERNET in all bedrooms and living room - perfect for working from home! - ALL UTILITIES INCLUDED: Electricity, Gas (Heat, Stove), Water/Sewer, and WiFi/Internet (RCN Gigabit) - 1,239 sqft apartment - High ceilings - Wood floors - Dishwasher in kitchen - New fridge (~2022) - No bedrooms share any walls (see layout in pictures) - Lockable storage room in basement (one per apartment) - Laundry in basement (Dryer: Free. Washer: Currently $2 coin-operated but likely moving to free soon) - Back porch - Parking lot adjacent to building I own and manage (I live nearby) a 3-family building in Somerville, which was extensively renovated a few years ago. Room A is available for rent, as is Room C (in a separate listing). The final room is rented to a guy in his late 20s who works in grocery management and has been at the apartment for about three years. If you rent this room, you will have input into who rents the other room that is currently vacant. The apartment itself is a ~5 minute walk to the Green Line, a ~12 minute walk to Union Square, where there are a lot of great restaurants, and a ~13 minute walk to Sullivan Square, where you can pick up the Orange Line or numerous buses into the surrounding areas (e.g. Davis, Harvard, Kendall/MIT, Central). In addition to street parking, there is a small parking lot directly adjacent to the building where one can park from 5pm - 7am daily (otherwise it is used by the school down the street). The apartment has a large living room and kitchen, a pantry, back porch, and bathroom. 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 with rent
