About this home

This rare offering is made up of two adjacent apartments on the 18th floor of sought-after and well-established 1010 Memorial Drive, one of the most desirable doorman buildings in the metropolitan area. A cooperative, the elevator building is professionally managed, one-hundred-percent owner-occupied, and known for its high maintenance standards. These side-by-side sunny apartments offer unbroken long vistas in several directions: the Charles River and the Harvard playing fields on the southern side, the western suburbs to the west, and sweeping views of the Brattle area and west Cambridge to the north. Large balconies. There are floor-to-ceiling south-facing windows, with the potential of a huge living room with multiple exposures. There are many possibilities for reconfiguration of the space to create a unique and comfortable residence. Per Mgmt, real estate tax is included in the monthly fee (deductible $2009/yr).
