About This Home

As of June 2016

You will love the way the sunlight pouring in through the skylights and many windows floods this elegant home. Built new from the basement up in 2011, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath unit occupies the entire second floor of a 2-unit building and features high cathedral ceilings; an expansive open floor plan; a gas fireplace; beautiful hardwood floors throughout; a kitchen with granite countertops, stainless appliances, and a breakfast bar; an enormous master suite; central air conditioning; in-unit laundry; walk-in closets and much more. Add to that deeded parking for one car, basement storage, and shared outdoor space for planting, grilling or chilling. And then there's the location--a quiet street in the midst of one of Cambridge's most exciting and coveted neighborhoods, a short walk to Kendall, Inman, Central Squares, two Red Line stops, and some of Cambridge's finest restaurants, among them Oleana, Craigie-on-Main, and so many others. Sellers prefer June 24 closing.
