About This Home

As of June 2014

Set on a tree-lined street just three blocks from Harvard Yard this 1930's Colonial Revival style house is brilliantly sunny and in excellent condition. Extensively updated and meticulously maintained the house is comprised of seven well-proportioned rooms. The living room features: nine windows on three sides, custom built-in bookcases, a gas fireplace; and a French door leading to the professionally landscaped, fenced yard and patio. The dining room comfortably seats ten and looks out to the greenhouse room. A 2013 kitchen renovation includes stainless steel appliances, solid surface counter tops and direct access to the two-car driveway. On the second floor there are two large front-to-back bedrooms and a lovely tiled bathroom. Additionally, the finished lower level has extensive custom closets, a stone-tile floor and a beautiful bathroom highlighted by a glass surround shower stall. With polished wood floors and central air conditioning this property it has it all!
