About this home

Super cute condo in award-winning, historic building located in the heart of Union Square. This architect-designed unit has antique pine floors throughout and a nice lay-out with much natural charm. High ceilings & extra large windows "let the sun shine in" from southeast and northwest exposures. The floor to ceiling bookshelves and custom-designed kitchen provide many conveniences and space-saving features. Professionally managed, pet friendly, no-smoking building. Large storage locker in basement. Enjoy the many outstanding restaurants, bars, cafes, & one of the best farmer’s markets around — all within steps of your front door. This already bustling neighborhood is slated for many more enhancements and the Green Line is currently forecast for a 2021 completion. Only 1 mile to Harvard yard or Porter Square; short walk to Inman; and buses in all directions. Offers reviewed Tuesday 5/15 at 2 pm
