About This Home

As of August 2014

This top-floor light-filled two-bedroom condominium in a stately Mansard Victorian residence of four units has the feeling of a Parisian atelier, with its rooftop views and Second Empire street presence. Located very close to Porter Square, the Harvard Law School, the Science Center, and Harvard Square, the unit has beautiful hardwood floors, high ceilings and an intelligent layout. Good-size windows facilitate cross-ventilation. Vintage tile bath. Efficient kitchen. There is a large private storage space as well as a common washer and dryer at the basement level. In unit w/d permitted. The condominium has exclusive use of a non-tandem off-street parking space and access to a common yard. The location and elegant building easily justify any plans for updates and renovations. The association has recently had an energy study by Mass Save and the plan is to insulate the building. The seller of #3 will pay for insulating the unit. Monthly fee includes snow removal & landscaping.
