About This Home

As of August 2021

Cascading in natural light, this open concept two bedroom, one-bath unit with skylights, cathedral ceilings, and hardwood flooring throughout offers a modern layout for effortless living infused with a sense of architectural drama. A sleek handsome kitchen is outfitted with espresso cabinetry, granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. A glass paneled door opens to a private deck with treetop vistas ideal for alfresco dining or summertime basking. In-unit laundry, one off-street parking space, and lower level storage are some of the conveniences all a stone’s throw to the best of Union Square and Kirkland Village and under a mile to Porter Square and Harvard Yard.
