Belmont Room — 20 Min to Harvard Sq + Parking

Living room (looking toward dining room and kitchen)

I am looking for one roommate (no couples) to share this beautiful, spacious (7-room), first-floor apartment.

You get a private bedroom with hardwood floors and good closet space. It's at the back of the apt so very quiet. Clean and bright too. Partially furnished with a bed & frame.

You also get one free parking spot included (Belmont has no overnight parking), free washer/dryer (big plus), a shared backyard to relax in, a beautiful living room (working fireplace) and more.

This is a great situation for someone who's looking for a friendly, easy-going vibe and has a full life outside the apartment: a professional, a visiting scholar, postdoc, grad student, visiting nurse, or anyone who primarily works outside the house and values a calm, respectful home.

Belmont is a quiet, walkable town with a genuine neighborhood feel, and this house is close by Waverley Square. It's a 3-minute walk to the #73 bus, and a 20-min bus ride to Harvard Square.

The house is in a residential neighborhood with shopping in easy walking access. We're also a 10-minute drive to TJs and Whole Foods & lots of other options.

And if you're into getting outdoors to walk or hike, we're just a few min's drive to lots of nearby conservation land and hiking trails.

The place itself has lots of charm and character —hardwood floors throughout, a working brick fireplace in the living room, warm craftsman woodwork, and good natural light. Nice backyard with grill. It photographs well and feels even better in person.

About me: I'm a writer, communications professional, and coach — warm, independent, and communicative. Male, in my 50s. I work a hybrid schedule (3 days at home), and a calm, communicative, respectful home is important to me.

No smoking and no pets permitted, per the lease.

Room is available as of Sun., June 7th. Rent is $1,275 plus utilities (including cable internet), which I expect to run another $150+. There's also a deposit of $1,275.

When you reach out, pls tell me a bit about yourself and what you're looking for.
