Updated 3-Bedroom Apartment in Cambridge’s Harvard Square Area Located at 1657 Cambridge St, Cambridge, MA 02138, this renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bath apartment offers approximately 1,343 square feet of well-planned living space in a highly desirable Cambridge setting. Built in 1903 and thoughtfully updated, the home combines classic character with modern convenience, making it an excellent choice for renters seeking space, style, and a central location. With a monthly rent of $5,400 and an equal security deposit, this residence is available for a 12 to 36+ month lease starting October 1, 2026. Comfortable Interiors and Everyday Convenience The apartment features hardwood floors that add warmth and continuity throughout the living areas, along with a central air conditioning system designed to keep the home comfortable through the seasons. The layout includes a spacious living environment with a practical flow for relaxing, entertaining, or working from home. A dishwasher and in-unit laundry make daily routines easier, while the apartment is offered unfurnished, giving you the flexibility to create a space that reflects your own style. Outdoor Space and Added Lifestyle Benefits One of the standout features of this Cambridge apartment is its access to balcony, deck, and patio spaces, offering valuable room for fresh air, casual meals, or quiet downtime outdoors. These features add versatility to the home and provide a welcome extension of the interior living space. The property also includes on-site laundry, adding another layer of convenience for residents. Practical Lease Details The landlord covers water and sewer, while tenants are responsible for electric and gas utilities. There is no parking included, which may be ideal for renters who rely on nearby transit, cycling, or walkable neighborhood access. The apartment is part of a well-located Cambridge rental opportunity with a straightforward leasing structure and long-term flexibility for those planning ahead. Why This Cambridge Rental Stands Out With its generous square footage, renovated finishes, and sought-after location near the heart of Cambridge, this apartment offers a balanced blend of comfort and practicality. It is well suited for renters looking for a spacious Cambridge 3-bedroom apartment with modern features, outdoor areas, and easy access to the energy of the surrounding neighborhood. For those searching for a high-quality rental home in Cambridge, MA, this property delivers a compelling combination of value, convenience, and livable space.
