About This Home
As of November 2016Free-standing home is part of a 3-unit condo association but feels like a single! A classic brick-end Colonial Revival house, with 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, 2 off-street parking spaces, private garden and bluestone patio, this comfortable, meticulously updated property is close to Harvard Square, shops, and restaurants. The kitchen includes a delightful eat-in space, with family room and mudroom adjacent, while the elegant living room with fireplace opens onto a light-filled sunroom overlooking the landscaped yard. On the second floor, a master suite is privately situated at one end, and two more bedrooms share a full bath and hallway. The third floor features a fourth bedroom, a full bath, and a handsome home office that could serve as a fifth bedroom. The hydro-air heating and cooling systems are by Buderus and Unico and there is 200-amp electrical service. A bonus lower-level extra room abuts the laundry area. Top public and private primary schools are in the neighborhood.
