[LEASE TAKEOVER] Furnished Large Bedroom + Office or 2 bedroom flex - 5 minute walk to campus

🏠 LEASE TAKEOVER — 15 Ellery St, Cambridge

I signed a 2-year lease here expecting to be at Harvard for both years, but I got into a dual degree program with Stanford — so I need someone to take over this amazing apartment starting in June!

Ideal...
dates: 6/15/26 – 5/31/27, but flexible (prorated rent, just reach out)
Furnished 2BR/1BA
$2,700/mo

The apartment:
- 4 min walk to Harvard Yard, 15 min to HKS
- Between Central Sq & Harvard Sq Red Line stops, both ~10 min walk
- Brand new AC, new windows, hardwood floors, renovated kitchen & bath
- Huge closets + private 120 sqft storage downstairs
- Coin-op laundry in the building
- M2 Longwood Shuttle 1 min walk
- Charles River is just around the corner
- Included parking spot

The situation: No issues with the unit or landlord whatsoever. Landlord is a former MIT/Harvard grad, totally fine with the transfer, and can likely extend to 2 years if you want. Has a great track record with Harvard/MIT/HMS residents.

This is especially ideal for anyone in a 1-year program — the timeline lines up perfectly with graduation.

DM me with any questions!

Approximate Utility Cost: 100 (internet + electricity + gas)
