Description

This home is on Lake Whalom, close to Route 2, and close to the commuter rail (Fitchburg Line). The house has a mudroom, half bath, kitchen, laundry room, dining and living room, and sunroom on the first floor. 3 steps up is a bedroom, office, and full bath with walk-in shower. Up a flight of stairs is the primary bedroom with large bathroom with 2 sinks, tub/shower, toilet and separate bidet. The home sits on a half acre and slopes to the water. There is a garage with automatic opener, plus 2 sheds. There is forced hot air oil heat and whole house air conditioning. You can commute easily to Fitchburg, Leominster, Wachusett, Devens. Longer commutes to Worcester, Concord, Cambridge, Boston. The commuter rail is 3.9 miles from the house, and the train ride is 57 minutes from North Leominster to Porter Square, Cambridge and avoids all traffic. ---------------------------- I am a Cornell grad and have an MS and a PhD from UMass Boston in aging and housing policy. I live in Concord, MA and rent out properties that I own in Lunenburg, Boston, and Cambridge. I also have 2 separate entrance units at my home in Concord (Cottage Suites A and B on short term rental sites). I am looking for tenants who take some general stewardship of the properties to keep them in proper working order. I leave my tenants privacy and solitude when they are renting, and work to preemptively take care of their needs so that they can focus on their work. My properties are ones that I would enjoy living in and spending time in, so I prioritize beautiful spaces for working and relaxing. ---------------------------- Feel free to contact me about renting any of my spaces -307 Main Street, Concord, MA (a village location 1 block from train -Cottage Suites A and B, see airbnb for updated calendar) -76 Laurel Lane, Lunenburg, MA (on lake Whalom and <4 miles to train to Cambridge and Boston, Currently rented though May 2026) -52 Garden Street #27, Cambridge, MA (condo near Harvard Square, currently rented through June 2027) -430 Stuart Street #1612, Boston, MA (concierge luxe condo in Raffles Hotel Residences, currently rented through April 2026)
