Description

Amazing location! This house is located right in the heart of Inman Square on a one-way, dead-end street. Walk score of 95 and bike score of 100! (We even have a covered concrete pad with bike locks off the driveway for bike storage.) We are within walking distance of a million playgrounds - 5 mins from Lincoln Park/Argenziano, Paine Park, and Sennott Park, and maybe 10-15 mins walk from King Open's brand new playground, Sennot Park's brand new playground, Cambridge Common, and Tim Toomey (another brand new one). The house is set up like a townhouse, meaning that it has the feel of a single-family home but is attached on one side. Three living levels, with 3 bedrooms upstairs (master with en suite, two additional bedrooms, and additional full bath with tub), and a huge, brand new additional bedroom in the basement. Open-plan main floor with washer/dryer and half bath, and fully finished basement. Each level is its own heating/cooling zone - brand new efficient heat pump system installed in December 2025. Nice finishes, brand new kitchen appliances (Dec. 2025), hardwood floors, and ample closets & storage throughout. Included is one off-street parking spot in the lot right at the end of the street. Available to rent for just the summer, July-August 2026, or from July 2026 - September 2027 with option to renew for subsequent years. (We are relocating to the suburbs but keeping this home.) This site only allows us to upload 10 photos, but we'd be happy to provide more upon request!
