Neighborhood: Strong selection of Kendall Square and East Cambridge bars, cafes, and restaurants. Inman Square is the closest but central is not far off.
Environment & Layout: I maintain the common areas to a clean and tidy standard. Given the large footprint, we have a unique layout flexibility: if desired, we can divide the four main rooms so each person gets a two-room suite (Bedroom + Private Living Room). Turning this into a private studio with a shared kitchen and bath.
Pets: One resident cat currently lives here; unfortunately, no new pets are allowed.
Condition: The unit is furnished, though some minor items may be shifted as the previous tenant departs. The bathroom has minor cosmetic wear from recent necessary repairs, but it is fully functional and clean.
About Me: I am a 30-year-old male professional. I am fairly laid back and currently WFH out of my bedroom, so I do not dominate the shared living spaces. I value a quiet, organized home environment but am happy to hang out or stay independent. My interests include geopolitics, tech, economics, history, running, and road trips (I own a converted bus).
