About 2 Riverside Pl
This charming 1886 Victorian Single Family detached home is located steps from the Charles River and Harvard Business School, and 10 minute walking distance to Harvard and Central Squares. Located on Riverside Place, a quiet side street, this home offers two bedrooms in a flexible and generous living space of 1280 square feet. Brand new kitchen cabinetry and countertops, new stainless steel appliances (gas oven/range, fridge, dishwasher, microwave). Refinished hardwood floors throughout, freshly painted walls and ceilings. French doors to living room. Large bonus room in the back can be used as office or playroom. Two bedrooms upstairs, one master and one regular bedroom with access to expansive rear deck that can see the Charles River. Bathroom features new valance with twin sinks. Finished attic, up a short flight of stairs, provides extra space for office or guest room. Large basement has new washer and dryer and ample storage shelves. Rear entrance opens to small side yard. Includes water and sewer, landscaping and snow removal. As the current tenants, we would absolutely love to stay in this location, it is the perfect spot in Cambridge for a price you just can't beat. We are moving out of Boston, therefore we are looking for someone to take over the lease. The management property is very attentive and has fixed anything that has come up, which is not much at all. We feel very safe and comfortable here and the neighbors are great! I don't think you can find something like this anywhere else in Cambridge, it's an entire single-family home for the price of a small/normal 2 bedroom apartment! The Landlord only requires the first month rent and a one Month Security Deposit. That's $5,800 to move in + application fee. The realty management company does not take a fee, which is awesome as well. There is also a $200.00 application per person.

Similarly, price, schools, and size are calculated relative to the size, price, and distance to schools of the other properties nearby.How 2 Riverside Pl compares to other nearby properties.
