About this home

Below the mature canopy of the JFK Park, with a 365-day unobstructed view of the Charles River, sits a very special home. Now undergoing refurbishment, this rare double-unit in Harvard Square’s coveted Residences at Charles Square is available for the first time since its original purchase. The uniquely flexible floorplan boasts high ceilings and over 55 feet of river & park views. Approx. 2,102 sq.ft., this opportunity to own a corner of Harvard Square is rare. Enjoy the entire space or close the full height double doors for a private library/office, create a lavish master suite or formally re-establish the units into two, perhaps using the smaller unit to create a pied-à-terre, for guests or rental. Enjoy single-level living with two bedrooms, three full baths, and a soon-to-be-completed, refreshed kitchen and new finishes. Elevator access to two parking spots makes access easy, private, and convenient. Two additional storage units across the hall.
