About this home

Lovely top floor 3 BR unit located in desirable Huron Village, one block from the electric trolley line running into Harvard Sq, just over one mile down the road. Original details abound....bay windows, wood floors, library/3rd BR with built-in bookcases, period china cabinet, chair rails, wainscotting, french doors (not currently installed), and custom radiator covers. It has an air of elegance about it, and the sunny & open flexible floor plan makes for easy and comfortable living. The country kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a period storage pantry, and direct access to an adorable enclosed private porch. Stack laundry machines in the unit included in sale, and there is secured storage in the basement. The fiscally sound 3 unit association is 100% owner occupied with long-term occupants. Nicely landscaped grounds and well kept common areas are a testament to the care the homewoners put into the house. First showings at open houses, Saturday 5/6 and Sunday 5/7, 1:00-3:00
