About This Home

As of November 2021

Welcome to the cutest condo in Cambridge! If you’re still renting check this one out - interest rates are low and the condo fee at The Birches includes heat! Unit 21 is also an amazing option if you’re downsizing to the city - 2 beds, 1 bath plus areas to entertain & work makes it just enough space, without the maintenance of a bigger home. This home is on the 2nd floor with hardwood floors throughout & amazing light in every room courtesy of new windows. This classy brick building on historic Brattle Street is in a residential neighborhood with lots of green space. There's also easy access to public transportation and it's just over a mile to Harvard Square! Pets are allowed, smoking isn’t, your own trash & recycling barrels are in the back hallway ready for pick up, and there’s common laundry & private storage in the basement. Is it time to stop renting? Is it time to put roots down in the city? These homes don’t come on the market often - schedule your private showing today!
