About This Home

As of June 2019

Renovated in 2018: 2nd-floor condo in sought-after East Cambridge! Just a few blocks to vibrant Kendall Square, and very convenient to the Green-Line Lechemere Station. The kitchen was updated with new cabinets, solid counters, recessed lighting and tile floor, and the bathroom is all new. The spacious living room opens out onto a private deck area. There is an 8x8 bonus-room off the bedroom which could function as a home office or a large walk-in closet. The building envelope is all-new after an extensive remodel: architectural shingles, cedar clapboard siding, full insulation. The systems feature new electrical, and boilers with tankless hot water heaters. There is shared storage in the basement.
