About This Home
As of May 2019Nestled in the heart of Central Cambridge, this lovely cedar shingled condo has all the charm of a countryside cottage in the city. With two levels of living space and a private basement, it's a 2 bedroom townhouse that feels like a single family. The main level features an open floor plan with access to a generous private patio. Butcher block counters, deep centered farmer's sink, and window pane cabinetry accent the open kitchen. On the upper level, the bedrooms, with original wide-plank pine floors, are outfitted with California closet systems. The bathroom features a deep, jetted soaking tub and tiled floors. The private patio has plenty of space for entertaining and some gardening! The unit has a private basement too where you'll find space for hobbies, washer/dryer, and plenty of additional storage. Ideally located in between Harvard Square and Central Square, there is literally something in every direction!
