About this home

Elegant living right in Harvard Square and in one of only a few Cambridge concierge buildings, this South facing spacious condominium has an open living room and dining room area with high ceilings and an exquisite view of the Charles River and the Weld Boathouse beyond. A sliding door leads to an expansive private terrace on this level.The first floor offers both intimate and larger entertaining spaces. Imagine a large cocktail party with guest flowing out onto the private terrace on a warm evening, or equally elegant, a dinner party for six. The second level creates a clear separation between the entertaining and private spaces. The large den/study with built ins has a full wall of glass and a smaller landscaped terrace, a perfect spot for a quiet repose. The master bedroom has a cozy sitting area and the second bedroom is now used as a study/guest room. Two baths and a walk-in closet complete this level. Elevator access to both levels. Deeded garage parking space.
