About This Home

We are an owner-occupied couple with a 2-family in Somerville, not far from Magoun Square. We live upstairs and rent the 1st floor apartment. We have a lovely, plant-filled front yard and a backyard with flowering trees and shrubs, where you'll hear birds chirping, see lots of wild bunnies, and occasionally spot the resident groundhog. The house is on a quiet one-way street with plenty of on-street parking. Two indoor cats are allowed, but sorry, no dogs. Move-in date is July 1, 2026, and we'll be starting apartment showings in April; serious inquiries only. Please read the apartment descriptions for more clarification... - The apartment is 1069 sq feet - There is a large eat-in kitchen, a bathroom with a shower only, a large living room, a middle room (some people use this as the bedroom, others as an office), and a small back room, which can be used as a bedroom or office - The apartment is kept in great shape, and as owners who live on the premises, we fix things as soon as they break - There is a shared front porch, where you can sit and drink your coffee, and a lovely backyard that tenants are welcome to use for sitting and eating (no big parties allowed) - There is a nice, quiet AC that comes with the apartment and cools the entire unit - Shared washer and dryer in the basement - We're just a few blocks to the bike path, and the Lowell Street Green Line train, and it's about a 15-20 minute walk to Davis Square along the bike path - There is plenty of on-street parking with the Somerville permit - The apartment is most suitable for a single professional or a couple - No loud party-people; we prefer quiet, respectful tenants to share our home with us - No smoking on premises - The rent is $3,200, and we require a first month's rent and a deposit. Water is included, but heat and electricity are not - We also require a background/credit check
