About This Home
As of May 2022The perfect union of location, comfort, and convenience! During COVID our homes became our offices, movie theaters, yoga retreats, etc. This sun-filled Highland condo will grow with you, with two bedrooms that could be used to host friends/roommates/or even convert one of the bedrooms into your very own home office! Well laid out space, tall ceilings, gas cooking, full size dining room makes it easy to entertain. Well managed association with high owner occupancy, stable condo fee and sizable reserve. Pet friendly. Dedicated basement storage. Near bike path, many public transport options, restaurants, shops. Walk everywhere. Bus stop in front makes trips to Davis super quick. Cute shops near by (bakery, cafe, deli, etc), the best of what Davis Square has to offer right at your fingertips!
