About this home

Gut-renovated and transformed into a condominium, this unique residence offers two distinct living spaces under one roof. Enter left to the first-floor unit featuring an open living/dining/kitchen area with in-unit laundry, a bedroom and full bath, plus access to the lower level with additional living space, bedroom, bath, storage, and systems. Enter right to find a second unit: the main level with open living/dining/kitchen, 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, and laundry, plus a third-floor retreat with bedroom, full bath, and two walk-in closets. A separate room off the entry is ideal for a home office or mudroom. Outdoor living is enhanced with a private deck and yard surrounded by trees for privacy. The layout suits multi-generational living, rental income, or extended guests. While bedrooms lean modest in size, the location is exceptional—just blocks to the town center, Boston Marathon’s Heartbreak Hill, BC, Cambridge, and top-rated schools.
