About this home

Perched above the vibrant heartbeat of Inman Square, this top-floor condominium is a hidden retreat—like a bird’s nest in the trees—calm, sunlit, and effortlessly welcoming. Spanning 1,176 square feet, the two-bedroom home unfolds from front to back, its long eastern exposure filling each space with beautiful light and skyline views stretching to Boston. At one end, a spacious living and dining area offers warmth and character with exposed brick and plenty of room to gather. At the other end, a thoughtfully renovated kitchen—complete with in-unit laundry—makes everyday living seamless. Over the years, the sellers have not only enhanced their home with air conditioning, custom bookcases, and crown molding but also helped transform the shared outdoor space. Now, a serene patio invites neighbors to linger, and bike storage makes city life even easier. A rare balance of energy and ease, 1222 Cambridge St. #5 is a true urban sanctuary.
