Description

We’re a professional couple who own and live in a spacious four-bedroom, two-bathroom home in North Cambridge. We’re looking for a responsible, clean, and considerate male tenant to rent a private furnished bedroom. The room will be available starting June 6, 2026, at $1,600 per month, inclusive of all utilities — no extra bills for heat, electricity, water, or internet. The lease is preferably three months or longer, but month-to-month can be arranged for someone seeking flexibility and convenience. Our home is located on Sherman Street, a quiet and safe residential area with easy access to everything Cambridge has to offer. Commuting is simple whether you take public transit, drive, or bike. It’s just a 5-minute walk to the nearest bus stop, and a short ride to the Red Line at Alewife, Porter, or Davis Square. Drivers will appreciate quick access to Routes 2 and 3, making travel to neighboring towns or into Boston effortless. For students or professionals, the location is ideal. Harvard University is less than a mile away, and both MIT and Tufts University are about two miles from the house — roughly a 10-minute bike ride. It’s a perfect setup for graduate students, researchers, or professionals who want proximity to Cambridge’s academic and innovation centers. The neighborhood also offers plenty to enjoy during your free time. Within minutes, you can walk to Paddy’s Bar, Gran Gusto Italian Restaurant, or several cozy cafés and bakeries. Massachusetts Avenue is nearby, lined with restaurants, bars, and shops for dining or coffee breaks. For groceries, both Whole Foods and Star Market are less than a mile away. Our home is warm, clean, and comfortable — a welcoming space where everyone respects each other’s privacy while maintaining a friendly, cooperative atmosphere. The available room comes fully furnished with a bed, desk, chair, dresser, closet space, and a TV. You’ll have access to shared areas, including the kitchen, living room, dining area, and two full bathrooms (shared respectfully among housemates). We take pride in keeping the common areas tidy and peaceful and hope to find someone who shares that mindset. As homeowners, we care about maintaining a positive, balanced living environment. We value open communication, cleanliness, and mutual respect. While we both have busy professional lives, we enjoy the occasional chat over coffee, sharing local tips, or lending a hand when needed. At the same time, we appreciate quiet and personal space. The home is relaxed, responsible, and drama-free — ideal for someone who enjoys a calm, comfortable place to unwind. We’re seeking a male tenant who is clean, considerate, and financially stable — someone who pays rent on time, treats the home with care, and contributes to keeping it pleasant for everyone. No smoking indoors (smoking permitted on the porches). While we’re social and friendly, this is a quiet household, better suited for someone who enjoys a peaceful home life rather than frequent gatherings or late nights. This space would be a great fit for a working professional, postdoc, or graduate student looking for a comfortable and convenient home in Cambridge. We take pride in offering more than just a room — it’s a home shared with respectful, thoughtful people who value communication and consideration. If this sounds like a good fit for you, please reach out with a brief introduction about yourself, your background, and what you’re looking for in a living arrangement. We’re happy to answer any questions or schedule a time for you to visit. We look forward to meeting the right person to join our home and enjoy all the great things North Cambridge has to offer.
