About this home

You will feel right at home at 5 Newton Street, a bright condo in the heart of Cambridgeport. This spacious three-bedroom, two-bathroom unit has a practical layout that oozes charm. The home faces south, a wide-open living and dining area flows into a spacious windowed eat-in kitchen with a peninsula. A long hallway off the kitchen leads you to the three bedrooms with ample storage, a full bathroom, and the finished lower level. The lower level has two generous-sized rooms that could serve as a media room, office, or storage area. You're a fifteen-minute walk, or less, to the Central Square red-line, MIT, Boston University, Wholefoods, and the many cultural offerings in Central Square. Minutes to the recreation fields at Magazine Beach & many other small parks, playgrounds, and gardens. Other highlights: in-unit laundry, off-street parking, a shared front porch, and an exclusive yard area. Brand new heating system, and water heater. Offers due Tuesday 8/31 at noon.
