About this home

Avon Hill / Porter square - Set quietly back from the street, this rare 2-story end 1-bedroom lives like a private townhome—complete with its own entrance and assigned garage parking. Overlooking a shared garden, it offers a sense of calm and privacy rarely found in rental living. The southeast-facing main level features 10’ ceilings and tall windows on three exposures, filling the space with beautiful natural light. A decorative fireplace anchors the living area. Upstairs, the generous primary suite is equally bright and easily accommodates a desk or work-from-home setup. Heat and A/C air pumps. Laundry and storage room conveniently accessed just below in the basement through direct access. Just two blocks to Mass Ave and moments to Porter Square, the Red T Line, Harvard Square, and local favorite shops and restaurants. A cottage-like urban retreat with a tranquil edge. Possibility to rent 6 months until 8/31 or longer.
