Private Room Available in East Watertown House (Shared Housing)

1 Room available in East Watertown on Watertown/Cambridge border
$890/month, available August 1st (move-in is flexible, but lease needs to be signed for Aug 1st)

The roommates:
- 1 male in his early 40s who is quiet, a vegetarian, and works from... home. He rents the two rooms on the top floor for his bedroom + office.
- 1 female in her early 30s who is also quiet, respectful, and will be starting a Harvard pre-med post-bacc in August.
- We keep semi-social but low-key house dynamics, where socializing in the kitchen while cooking is common, and occasionally share a meal or a glass of wine in the living room. We are varying degrees of introverts, but we do have guests over on occasion and would welcome you to do so as well.
- One of us is a vegetarian, the other is plagued with celiac disease, but neither of us asks our roommates to follow these restrictions.
- Please note that the landlord has a strict no smoking or vaping on the property policy that is written in the lease.
- We are looking for a roommate who is tidy, responsible, and respectful. We welcome introverts and extroverts alike!

The apartment:
- The apartment is on the top two floors of a three-story house.
- There are 4 bedrooms, 1 office, 2 full baths, a living room, dining room, kitchen, 2 balconies, and a shared backyard - it's more space than we know what to do with. Previous tenants have hosted thanksgiving, tea parties, game nights, etc, all without crowding the other tenants.
- Free laundry in the basement
- No central a/c, but there are window units available for use in the summertime, and radiator heating in the winter
- Cats will be considered by the landlord on a case-by-case basis and will require a good landlord reference. No other pets are permitted.
- Off-street parking is available. The garage fits two cars (three with some maneuvering) and there is currently 1 space occupied.

The room:
- $890/month + utilities. The rooms vary in size and desirability, so they are priced accordingly. This room is middle of the road relative to the others.
- East-facing windows that get good morning light
- Hardwood floors, decently sized closet, and radiator heating
- Queen sized bed fits comfortably
- Not furnished
- Near the bathroom, but otherwise tucked away from common areas

**We have another room available for $860. It's not listed, but please inquire if interested. It is smaller and less private than this one, and is therefore priced accordingly.**

The neighborhood:
- 1 block from the 71 bus stop, which takes you to Harvard Square and the Red Line in 10 minutes and runs every ~12 minutes on weekdays and ~20 minutes on weekends
- 1 block from multiple boutique Armenian grocery shops, which are great for grabbing last-minute ingredients you might've missed from the store
- 10-15 minute walk to Arsenal Yards Mall, Star Market, Target, and Roche Bros
- Also within walking distance of Mt. Auburn cemetery if you enjoy a beautiful, quiet walk Read More
