Peaceful 2BR/1.5BA Townhouse near Fresh Pond – Ideal for Harvard/MIT Scholars & Professionals

Our family previously lived in this home before relocating to California for work. It has been carefully maintained and, for the past three years, has been occupied by wonderful long-term tenants. We are now looking for the next tenant who will enjoy... it as much as we did.

Unlike many apartments in Cambridge, this is a private townhouse with no upstairs or downstairs neighbors, offering a level of quiet and privacy that is increasingly hard to find. If you appreciate coming home to a peaceful environment after a long day of research, work, or study, this home may be a great fit.

Located in the beautiful Strawberry Hill / Fresh Pond neighborhood of West Cambridge, the house is surrounded by mature trees and green space, just a short walk from Fresh Pond Reservation and Mount Auburn Cemetery—two of the most beautiful places for walking, running, or simply enjoying nature.

The home features:
2 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms
Three levels including a private basement
Private backyard
Garage for storage plus one off-street parking space
In-unit washer and dryer
Hardwood floors

Despite its quiet residential setting, everyday conveniences are close by. Grocery stores, restaurants, library, cafés, and public transportation are all within walking distance, with easy access to Harvard, MIT, Watertown, Belmont, and the nearby biotech hubs. This home is especially well suited for graduate students, postdocs, visiting scholars, faculty, couples, or small families seeking a peaceful place to live rather than a busy student neighborhood.
We hope to find tenants who will treat this home with the same care they would their own.

Available August 1 (flexible if needed).
