About This Home
As of December 2023On one of the loveliest tree-lined streets in Cambridgeport, this 2-3 bed condo occupies the second floor of a classic 1873 Mansard Victorian. With high ceilings and abundant sunlight, the home centers around a proper dining room and distinct living room fit for entertaining, and the spacious primary bedroom, located at the rear of the unit, provides quiet sanctuary. Need an office or an extra bedroom? You'll discover it cleverly tucked off the living room, adding versatility to the mix. And oh, the covered porch! It's a dynamite spot, equally suited for hosting lively dinners or enjoying individual repose, soaking up the best months of the year. Amenities include one-car parking and generous storage in the basement (because all the things need their places). Prime location, less than half a mile from the Charles River, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, MIT, and easy access to Central and Harvard Squares, this residence offers a vibrant urban lifestyle of convenience and comfort.
