About this home

Tucked away on a peaceful, tree-lined street in Mid Cambridge, 12 Fainwood Circle Unit 2 offers charm, space, and convenience just two blocks from Inman Square. This light-filled second-floor condo in a three-unit building features beautiful fir floors, 8'–6" ceilings, and newer replacement windows. The spacious eat-in kitchen includes a pantry with in-unit laundry. A thoughtful layout provides open-plan living and dining, three well-proportioned bedrooms, and two exclusive-use porches — front and rear. Additional highlights include private basement storage and one garage parking space in a shared garage. Surrounded by mature trees and with easy access to Harvard, this home is a peaceful urban retreat. New roofs (2025) on both main and garage buildings.
