Light-filled Furnished Room in a great home, on major bus line into Harvard Square

Available 6/1 or 9/1 (6/1-8/31 possible). Also available for PT Hybrid workers who live out of state and would like a cozier place to land weekly than a hotel or AirBNB. Crate and Barrel furnished bedroom with huge closet and great sunset views from... atop a hill. Share oversized bathroom with Head of Household (lil 'ole me) with stacked washer/dryer. Sheets and towels and basic household supplies (TP, light bulbs, condiments, etc) provided. Easy commute on 73 Bus to Harvard Square (stop is at bottom of our hill), Mass Pike entry less than a mile in Watertown Square. 2nd and 3rd Floor apartment with lots of space, a fireplace for cozy times, a fabulous 3 season porch, large yard & veggie garden, a grill and patio, use of the fully stocked kitchen, driveway parking if needed in winter (on street in summer), Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, Disney+, Amazon Prime, AppleTV on the large wall mounted tv in the living room, great turn table and audio system, a piano (if that makes you happy). I am a single empty nester in a 4 bedroom place so...options. I do have cats - indoor/outdoor - so if you're allergic, probably not the best fit and also cannot accept others. Kitty litter has its own curtained off back stairway so not an issue (if you're concerned). High speed internet and other utilities included (AC unit available for window mount in summer). I have housed men, women, non-binary people, old and young, international and local - I'm pretty open if you are. I am a higher ed professional who has worked at MIT and Harvard for the last kajillion years (currently at Harvard Law). Obviously it's not a situation for everyone, but if you like a warm, friendly home setting that you can be as big a part of as you feel open to, this is it.

Approximate Utility Cost: utilities included (heat, hot water, electric and internet, smart tv w/amazon prime, netflix and hulu accounts)
