About This Home

As of April 2018

Tiffany’s knows that good things come in small packages but did you know this can also be true in real estate? 26 Linnaean St. #4 is the perfect urban package in which to live a wonderful life. The old world details, 10 ft. ceilings, enormous windows and private entrance offer an intimacy often lost in modern condos. It has cozy places to land on both levels, providing a bit of separation between one’s private and more communal spaces. AND, it offers access to the ideal urban lifestyle – fantastic restaurants from Harvard Sq. to Porter Sq., the red line, and hot spots like the Harvard Art Museums, the ART and even the Sinclair. If life takes you beyond the reach of public transportation, there is a place to park your car when you return! While protecting the charm of its turn of the century heritage, the owner has recently updated pieces including the kitchen and bathroom, refinished the floors and painted throughout. All you have to do is open the package and fall in love.
