About this home
4 Washington Ave is a well-respected and well-maintained pre-war building from the late 1920s. It rests at the base of historic Radcliffe/Avon Hill Cambridge, an area of tree-lined streets which skirt homes of character and vintage charm. Travel in any direction less than 0.5 mile to arrive at Harvard U, Lesley U, Porter Square Train (MBTA), Porter Sq. shopping center, etc...Enter through the naturally shaded courtyard to this high first floor unit, filled with natural light - a space to reflect. Enjoy the hardwood floors and high ceilings, the period tiled bath, and the Provence yellow kitchen with breakfast nook by a window with a view. The full basement has ample space for bike storage, a locked storage room/closet, and laundry facilities shared among the owners and tenants. Unit 5 has been rented consistently under the present ownership (currently at $1900/month.) Charm, convenience, and the pragmatic wisdom of investing in Cambridge are what make this a must come and see....
