About this home

Set on a pretty residential street on Observatory Hill, between Harvard Square and Huron Village, this first floor two bedroom condominium at 15 Madison Street offers a sense of ease that feels both grounded and connected. Inside, the layout unfolds across 980 sq ft, with well proportioned rooms that flow naturally from one to the next. The arrangement feels open, yet defined enough to give each space its own purpose and character, blending traditional and more modern ways of living.  Light moves easily through the space, bringing warmth and clarity throughout. At the back, a sunny kitchen serves as a natural gathering point, opening to a small yard and patio and creating an easy connection between indoor and outdoor living.  The two bedrooms offer flexibility for guests, a home office, or additional breathing room, and dedicated basement storage adds everyday practicality. A well balanced home in a location that offers both connection and a sense of belonging.
