Private BR and Bath in quiet Victorian House in West Newton

Fully furnished private bedroom & private bath on the third floor in a large family home, on a quiet, tree-lined street.

Rent is lower than market because occasionally we may ask you to lend a hand with small chores/flexible/about 4...
hours/month. This could include: assist with light snow shoveling in the winter, housesitting when owners traveling, watering plants.

Location: Residential street near shops in West Newton and Newtonville. Walk 2 miles to BC Newton campus/Law School/shuttle. Express bus #505 to downtown. Commuter Rail to Boston from West Newton train station. Bus # 553 to Waltham. Walk 30 min to Green Line T station in Waban.

Parking: Off-street parking is available and safe (no fees or permit needed). In winter months, parking is available in the driveway, adjusting with snow conditions.

This is a quiet and clean house. Owners are professionals working full-time. Seeking a renter who is independent, calm and positive. Renter can use the family kitchen to do your own cooking and clean-up. We supply you a separate full-size fridge and food storage space. Can use shared laundry room. Otherwise, the rest of the house is generally off-bounds to the renter. This is not a communal group living arrangement.

House has central heat and air conditioning. Bedroom is spacious with two windows, and fully furnished with a double bed (with linens, pillows and blankets), desk, dresser, armchair, side table, lamps, bookshelf and 2 closets.

We welcome you, provide a friendly atmosphere and want to make sure you are comfortable. Overall, the renter keeps mostly to own space without extensive interaction.

Beautiful quiet and safe neighborhood - good for cycling or running. Use of outside patio available.

Rules: Definitely no cigarettes or tobacco products inside or outside. We are a non-smoking, non-drinking household with no pets.

If you are interested, please introduce yourself by email, and let us know something about yourself, also your work or study schedule and what you would do for transportation.
