We are renting out our home for up to 7 months while we are out of the country. We love the location, right next to the Charles River and a fantastic path for biking, running and walking. There are five parks within a 6 minute walk. We're a short walk to Harvard, MIT and BU, with both a Whole Foods and Trader Joe's within a quarter mile and the many restaurants and coffee shops of Cambridge all around us. The Red Line in Central is a 10 minute walk and if you do need to travel beyond Cambridge, we have a 2022 Toyota Rav4 Prime (plug-in hybrid) that we're open to renting with our home, a private garage to house it and an additional private guest parking spot included.

The house was built in 1999 by renowned local designer David Aposhian as his own residence. The home is crafted from reclaimed cedar sourced from the historical Riverside Press, and the expansive backyard garden includes 7 dawn redwoods. The combined effect of the landscaping and architecture is of a remote cabin, nestled in the heart of Cambridge and anchored in the history of this location.

The space will come fully furnished, with a king bed, a queen bed, a twin bed, two cribs (if desired) and two additional twin mattresses (if desired). We have four bedrooms, though we plan to store our belongings in the smallest of them, so three will be available for you. We have two full bathrooms, one with a standard shower/bathtub, the other with a walk-in shower paved with a mosaic of river stones. We also have a half bathroom on the first floor.

We have fantastic neighbors, many with young children like ours. Our home is part of a Home Owners Association which provides landscaping, snow removal and other maintenance activities. Close friends of ours bought one of the other units in this HOA and they will be available if needed to help you get oriented on the neighborhood.

We are looking for a responsible renter that will take good care of our home and create new memories here to build on its happy history. If it seems like a good fit, please tell us about yourself and your plans for visiting Cambridge. We have included some photos from the original listing here as they captured more of each room than we are able to when we try to replicate the shots ourselves. We would be pleased to do a video call and tour of the house so you can get to know the space (and us).
