Spacious Room Occupying Entire Top Floor of a Private Home. Very Quiet.

This room occupies the entire top floor in a handsome old home. Private and quiet, it offers a sleeping area with a comfortable bed and sofa and study area, ideally suited for a graduate student. Completely furnished including bed, linens etc.

The... renter shares kitchen, bath, and living room with the owner.

The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and friendly. Close to Radcliffe Quadrangle (with Harvard Shuttle), Observatory, Law School, JFK, Ed School, and Harvard Square.

Three-minute walk to Harvard Shuttle, 12-minute walk to the Square and T Station. Concord Ave bus stop at the corner.

I am a Harvard graduate, retired from a long career in museums, with varied interest in the arts, science, and current affairs. I welcome newcomers and am happy to share my home.

I can interview in person or via the zoom.
