About This Home
Charming studio residence in one of Cambridge's most admired brick courtyard buildings, ideally situated at the base of Avon Hill. Located in a well-maintained pre-war building dating to the late 1920s, the home features hardwood floors, 9-foot ceilings, oversized windows, great natural light, and classic period details. The eat-in kitchen offers ample cabinet space and a dining nook by the window, while the vintage tiled bath reflects the building's pre-war character. Two generous closets provide excellent storage, and an additional entryway alcove offers potential for office or study space. Residents enjoy access to a beautifully maintained courtyard, common laundry facilities, bike storage, private storage, and a shared roof deck with city views. Just moments from Harvard Square, Porter Square, the Red Line, shops, restaurants, parks, and many neighborhood amenities. This home offers a rare combination of charm, location, and value in one of Cambridge's most desirable neighborhoods.
