About This Home
As of February 2023Rarely available! Step into this brick, French Mansard "Urban Row House”, & you will understand why this building is on the National Register of Historic Places. Soaring ceilings, expansive windows, & wood floors blanket this 2008 gut reno. Every room is generous in size & lives larger than the stated square footage thanks to the "no wasted space design". The kitchen flows into the dramatic open living/dining room & is complete with SS app, wood cabinets, & granite/butcher block counters. The primary bedroom is HUGE & has direct access to a shared patio that is the perfect respite in the city. Add a full 2nd bathroom adjacent to the main bedroom or to use it as an office. The 2nd bedroom can accom a queen with sun-filled windows overlooking the shared patio. The unit & building have been well cared (see firm remarks). 4 closets, a gallery wall, Nest therm, & 3 split A/C units complete this move-in condo! Within 1 mile of Harvard, MIT, and the Red Line. Right in the heart of Cambridge.
