About This Home

As of October 2014

Absolutely charming townhouse in Half Crown-Marsh neighborhood just steps from Harvard Square and the Charles River. The separate entrance, multi levels and private patio/garden make this feel like a single family. Hardwood floors, fireplaced living room and dining room with built-in china cabinet and French doors overlooking the landscaped garden accentuate the cottage feel and abundance of charm. The kitchen has been renovated with granite countertops and white cabinets and has dishwasher and microwave. Spacious two bedrooms on the second floor have good closet space and get fantastic light. A full bath has period tile and is in good condition. There is a full basement that offers a laundry area and plenty of room for storage and the development of another room (currently being used as an office area). There is easy parking on Sparks street, though you can walk to everything and enjoy the best of Cambridge!
