About This Home
Nestled into a canopy of mature trees just off Mass Ave, this charming two-bedroom condo feels worlds away - until you step outside. A bay window, built-ins, oak floors, and all-new windows flood every room with light and verdant views. The kitchen earns a second look: wood-plank ceiling, exposed brick, and a peninsula with seating add warmth and personality. The primary bedroom features a striking exposed brick chimney wall and is large and versatile enough for guests and a creative studio. The second bedroom is sun-dappled and bright, with leafy views through new windows. Mini-split AC. In-unit laundry hook-ups. Shepard Street feels tucked away, with old-growth trees and a quiet, residential vibe - yet it's across Mass Ave from Harvard Law School, just blocks from Harvard Square and the Red Line, and around the corner from a standout stretch of independent shops, restaurants, and cafés, including Giulia, Moëca, Pavement, Simon's, and Bagelsaurus.
