About This Home

As of December 2020

Just two blocks from Central Square’s vibrant array of shops and restaurants, this bright and airy 2 bed + study floor-through condo offers a warm retreat from the nearby bustle. The elegant and expansive open living/dining plan features high ceilings, walls of windows and great storage. Just off the living room a front-facing study with custom built-ins offers an ideal space to work from home or would make a fabulous nursery. The kitchen is a pleasure to cook in, with plenty of work surfaces, abundant cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and a pantry with washer/dryer. A slider from the kitchen leads to a large covered deck with tranquil treetop views. Both bedrooms are well-proportioned, and the main bedroom offers a spacious walk-in closet. The well-tended rear patio is common, and is perfect for entertaining while not compromising your social distance. Two blocks to the Central Square T stop. Close to Harvard and MIT, downtown Boston, and just a hop to Whole Foods + Trader Joe's.
