26 Clarendon Rd Apartments

This is a wonderful space for those interested in a summer (or partial summer) rental in a pretty, quiet neighborhood in an upscale town, convenient to Cambridge and Boston by public transportation. My place is a 6-room unit on the first floor of a 2-family house built in the 1920's. The house is on a quiet, tree-lined street with many friendly neighbors.The yard is beautiful and is maintained by a weekly landscape service. The house is three blocks from two local parks (one which has newly-renovated tennis courts). It’s a 10 minute walk from the Fresh Pond Reservoir (great for walking around!) and a public golf course. There's also plenty of restaurants, supermarkets and shopping within a 5-10 minute walk. More on Transportation: The house is a 5-minute walk from the MBTA #73 bus line. The bus ride takes 10 minutes to get to Harvard Square in Cambridge, and then it’s a 15 minute subway ride into Boston. Or you can park up to two cars in my driveway and drive into Cambridge and downtown Boston within 10-15 minutes. My place will comfortably accommodate up to four people. The master bedroom sleeps two with a king bed, two side tables, a chair, closet, and a 50-inch smart TV with cable. The second bedroom has a single bed, but can sleep two as it's a trundle system with another bed which slides underneath it. This room also has a bureau, desk, side table, lounge chair and walk-in closet. All the rooms are tastefully furnished and decorated, including the kitchen, living room, dining room, den with fireplace, back porch, and fitness room. The space has lots of wood furniture, art from around the world, hardwood floors and beamed living room and den ceilings. The bathroom has a tub/shower, sink and a bidet-toilet. The kitchen is updated with a new counter and tile backsplash, a table which seats three, large refrigerator, gas stove, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, blender, and coffee maker. It is equipped with everything you will need for cooking!
