About this home

On one of west Cambridge's most lovely 1-way tree-lined residential side streets, a light-filled 2-bedroom, 2-bath condominium a short distance to Davis & Porter Squares, the Red Line, scores of restaurants & shops. On 1st & 2nd levels of beautiful late-19th-c. building set back from sidewalk, the condominium has gracious living & dining rooms with unusually high ceilings, oversized windows, & gorgeous hardwood floors. The just-upgraded eat-in kitchen has abundant cabinetry, excellent stone counter space, stainless-steel appliances, center island, 2 exposures & a patio. A separate 1st-floor sunlit study with a closet makes a desirable workspace, playroom, or guest space. There is a full bath on both levels, in-unit laundry, a well-conceived floor plan, and cross-ventilation. There is exclusive use of half of the 2-c garage, an additional parking space in front of the garage, and huge private storage. Several common green spaces. Location, size, amenities, beauty, and convenience!
