About this home

The perfect pied-a-terre, investment unit or first home -- practically ON the Harvard campus! This charming first floor condo offers a smart layout that maximizes its square footage, a renovated kitchen with room for a small table & chairs, a sweet living room with three large windows and a fireplace, and a cozy bedroom that can fit a queen-sized bed. Surprisingly ample storage between the cabinets, closets, built-ins and large basement storage unit. Housed in a classic Cambridge turn-of-the-century brick building ideally situated in the Radcliffe neighborhood, just minutes from from Harvard Law, Lesley University, and the Longy School of Music, and a half mile from the Harvard Square T. Not to mention the many great cafés, restaurants, pubs, parks and entertainment venues in every direction. Professionally-managed building with many recent updates, coin-op laundry and bike storage. Condo fee includes heat & HW.
