A tranquil primary suite provides a cathedral ceiling, skylights, and a spa-like en-suite bath with reclaimed ship lap walls, custom cabinetry, Italian Carrara marble sinks & tile, and a luxe shower with Waterworks fixtures. The walk-out lower level houses the family room, guest suite, and a fitness studio. Under 1/2 mile to Harvard Square plus many parks and schools. Extra features include heated floors in the lower level and a heated driveway
