About This Home

As of July 2025

A Cambridge classic set just 0.2mi from the Red Line T at Central Square. Through the iron gates and down the leafy courtyard path, the marble entry welcomes you and exemplifies the enclave’s c. 1920 solidity and character. Enjoy treetop views and southeast light exposures from this top-floor one bedroom. With oak floors and deep-set windows throughout, the space is anchored by the large living room, which shares a wide cased opening with the eat-in kitchen that features white cabinetry and new stainless steel appliances. The generously proportioned bedroom with walk-in closet is spacious enough for a king bed and study space or dressing area. Just outside the bedroom, is another large closet and a tiled bath with a pedestal sink and window. Private storage and a deeded parking space complete this fine offering.
