About this home

This contemporary townhouse, built in 1987 on one of Cambridge’s prettiest streets, offers endless opportunities to celebrate the vibrant diversity of our modern lives. On the ground floor there is a large room with a half bath that offers privacy and separation for work or guests. One level up, the open plan main floor is a comfortable place for family and friends to congregate, share a meal, gather around the fireplace or sit outside in warmer weather. The top floor is your retreat, a protected place to rest and recharge, featuring a master suite with full bath and private deck, as well as a second bedroom & bathroom. Wall space abounds throughout, and big windows and glass doors bring in plenty of natural light. There is either a half or a full bath on every floor, 4 decks, an attic for storage, and an attached garage & a 2nd outdoor parking space. A well established association, Maple Ave Condominium has a community of owners who care about their property & each other.
