About This Home

As of July 2019

Amazing value for a 3-bed Cambridge condo equidistant to Harvard, MIT & HBS! This lovely first floor unit features three good-sized bedrooms, an open-concept eat-in kitchen / living room, two full baths, plus great perks like in-unit laundry, air conditioning, a large common patio and basement storage. And the location is prime -- a residential street between the Charles River and Central Square, abutting a large park (with off-leash dog hours!), less than a half mile to the train, very close to Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, HMart, Harvard, MIT and HBS. Walkscore = 92 ("Walker's Paradise"), Bikescore is 98 ("Biker's Paradise") and there are many convenient commuting options with easy access to the Red Line, the 47 bus to Longwood, Memorial Drive and the Mass Pike. Building is well-maintained with low-maintenance vinyl siding and a new roof. Self-managed, pet-friendly, 100% owner-occupied association. Don't miss it!
