About this home

Sweet treetop retreat in Cambridgeport, perfect as a rare entry-level opportunity, an in-demand rental investment, a convenient pied-à-terre, or just a charming place to live. Situated on a quiet one-way block, on the top floor of a storybook Queen Anne Victorian, 185 Hamilton is in the heart of this very desirable neighborhood. Entering the unit, views of trees, slate roofs, and brick chimneys greet you through a bank of windows; bamboo floors provide warmth throughout. The main living area opens to a compact kitchen featuring open shelves, country cabinets, and a skylight. The bedroom is large enough to incorporate a work-from-home area, and sliders lead from there to a generous private roof deck. Freshly painted throughout, with new lighting and ample closets; additional storage and laundry hookups are located in the basement. Within a half mile of Central Square, TJ's, Whole Foods, and Magazine Beach; about one mile from MIT, BU, and Harvard. Easy access to I-90 and Storrow Drive.
