About This Home

As of July 2026

Welcome to Harvard Street, in the heart of Cambridge's vibrant Port neighborhood. Designed and renovated by architects, the well-maintained building holds three condominiums. 178A is a sunny tri-level unit, with two bedrooms and two full baths, and features tasteful updates, wood floors, in-unit laundry, and a fabulous back deck that feels like a tree house. There's also a delightful common-use rear brick patio. A high-efficiency furnace and tankless water heater provide heat and hot water. Fletcher-Maynard Academy is nearby, along with Greene-Rose Heritage Park and playground, and the many hip restaurants, coffee shops, and bars of Kendall and Central squares. An urban oasis awaits you!
