About This Home

As of June 2025

If you want to live steps from Harvard Square in an iconic mid-century modern building, this is the place for you. Therear-facing apartment has been recently updated with a refreshed kitchen and bath, fresh paint, and new carpet. With an expansive living room/dining area the unit appears much larger than its square footage suggests. It features plenty of closets as well as a storage unit and laundry in the basement. The small balcony would be a great location for a vegetable garden or a floral display--or even a small table and chairs. The building is one of the most desired residences in Cambridge, designed by the noted architect Hugh Stubbins, Jr., and renowned for its 8-story atrium, where residents can sit and read or chat with friends. And then there's the unbeatable location, close to Harvard University, the Longy School of Music, the Harvard Square MBTA stop, and the restaurants and shops of Harvard Square. Heat and hot water included in rent.
