About this home

Enjoy south facing views from this light-filled, delightful two-bedroom condominium. The modern blends with period detail. A gracious open living room with fireplace, hardwood floors and nine-foot ceiling opens with French doors to a dining area off the kitchen with granite counters, stainless steel appliances and an original pair of built-in glass fronted hutches. There are Marvin true-divided-lite windows throughout. The unit has also been deleaded. See attached documents. It is wonderfully situated in a classic Harvard Square brick, elevator, professionally managed building with access to a landscaped secluded courtyard and located close to Harvard Law, Lesley University and the Red Line T.
