About This Home

As of March 2023

Exceptional Value and Opportunity. Prime location- situated on one of Cambridge's most beautiful streets- extremely close to Mass. Ave. and Porter Square. Unit 12A is a very large (1430 sf), stylish and unique unit on the first floor with only a short staircase getting to its entry door. The space is warm, inviting, bright and open with six generously sized rooms with large windows (12 in total) and spacious closets. Updated, cook's kitchen with stainless appliances, granite and plenty of cabinetry. The bathroom is sizable- renovated with subway tile, newer fixtures and lighting. "Turn of the century" elements throughout include high ceilings (almost 9'), crown moldings and hardwood floors. One of the three bedrooms could function beautifully as a library/office with built-in shelving flanking a wood-burning fireplace. This unit has a rare, assigned off-street parking spot, in-unit laundry and low taxes. Clean, fresh and ready for its next chapter with nothing to do but move in.
