About This Home

As of August 2020

This classic Observatory Hill condo is a perfect fusion of well-proportioned rooms, high ceilings, warm fir flooring, and modern touches, wrapped in a six-room, two-bedroom layout. The updated kitchen has loads of storage and counter space with a center island for casual eating and pantry storage. The wide opening between the living and dining room creates a “great room”, ideal for entertaining. Other standouts include a small room off the kitchen that could be used as an office or mud room, ample closets and storage, additional basement storage, private back deck, and a shared yard. Situated between Harvard and Porter Squares, this location is a commuter’s and cultural lover’s delight, near two Red line MBTA stations, Commuter Rail, Hubway Bike Station, Routes 2 and 93, with an abundance of culinary and cool hangouts. Showings by appointment only. Offers if any are due Tuesday July 21 at 12pm.
