About this home

Elegant Harvard Square one-bedroom in a classic c. 1929 brick building, with unmatched walkable convenience to Harvard University. Enter at the lion's head fountain in the sunken garden tucked off Chauncy Street, into an elevatored lobby with mailroom, laundry down the hall, and access to the lush, common rear courtyard. The unit entrance opens to a generous foyer with both a coat and a linen closet. A formal living room is centered around a brick fireplace and windows that fill the condo with natural light, and high views of leafy Chauncy Street's eclectic mix of classic and modernist architecture. The bedroom is setback and east-facing for privacy and morning light. The eat-in kitchen features stainless appliances, and brand-new honed quartz countertops. A great opportunity to own an elegant, well-maintained piece of Harvard Square in a historically significant building. One block to Harvard Law School, three blocks to Harvard Yard, and four blocks to the Harvard Square Red Line.
