About This Home

As of November 2022

In the heart of Harvard Sq’s vibrance and creativity, this delightfully surprising unit epitomizes modern Scandinavian design aesthetic and craftsmanship. As designers, they aspired to live in Copenhagen but their hearts were in Cambridge and so they turned their 891 sq. ft. penthouse in its traditional brick building into a calm, bright and airy home which celebrates functionality and warmth. A space in which each room feels special for its own reason and flows effortlessly. A space which has a quietness that endures even when life is layered in. The openness of the central hallway, the built-in storage, the glass enclosure, and every other thoughtfully designed detail make this space its own unique world. Accented by award-winning European fixtures (Smeg, Liebherr, Bosch, Hansgrohe, Duravit) as well as custom hand-finished millwork, marble of the highest quality, and beautifully restored windows, 31 Concord Ave. #17 is the perfect home for a quiet and full life in a thriving city.
