An expansive main living room has space enough for dedicated living and dining areas, while a spacious entryway can flex as a home office. There are hardwood floors, newer replacement windows, and new light fixtures throughout. The Bancroft Court Condominiums are professionally managed, have elevator service and intercom for guests, and card-operated laundry facilities and bicycle storage in the basement. With fees that include heat and hot water, this well maintained condo is a perfect fit for investors, and anyone seeking immediate access to Harvard Square. Offers are due Tuesday, 7/20 at 10am.
