About this home

Exceptional end unit townhouse in the vibrant Riverside neighborhood, located between Harvard and MIT. This residence features reclaimed wood beams and wide pine floors sourced from the 19th-century Riverside Press Building. The extensive custom millwork, cherry bookshelves + built-ins and fir doors create a space that exudes warmth and character. A private entrance welcomes you into the well-designed main living level, where the kitchen serves as the heart, gracefully connecting the living room and dining room. The second floor unveils two generously sized bedrooms front and back, as well as a full bath with laundry machines. Ascend to the top floor bed-bath suite which features a soaring vaulted ceiling and offers a retreat-like atmosphere. Additional highlights of this home include a newer heating system (2019) and off-street parking for one car (space #7). Easy access to Whole Foods, the Charles River and Central Square. This well maintained home is in move-in ready condition.
