About This Home

As of July 2015

Whether you take the Central Sq T just 3 blocks away or park in you own parking space behind the building, this quintessential Cambridge condo is a wonderful place to come home to! Be sure to grab groceries from Whole Foods on the corner because you'll want to take advantage of the newly renovated custom eat-in kitchen with gas cooking, warm wood cabinets, and granite counters. Enjoy dinner inside or step out to your private tree top deck off the kitchen! Those leafy views continue in the large corner living room thanks to the wall of windows. Off the center hall you'll find a well designed bedroom with multiple storage options, the renovated bath, and don't miss the efficient office nook with built-in desk and storage!. Out in the common hall is a convenient mudroom with more storage and speaking of storage, there's much more in the basement, along with free common laundry. There's even a shared yard in the rear. Strong self-managed association, pet friendly too. Don't miss it!
