About this home
Warm, considered, and full of genuine character, this David Aposhian-designed single-level condo is a rare find in one of Cambridge's most coveted locations. A flowing open floor plan, two generous bedrooms, and a stunning private garden come together to create a home that is as beautiful to live in as it is to look at. The oversized bonus room offers exceptional flexibility: home office, guest space, artist's studio, or all three over time. 9ft ceilings, in-unit laundry, two deeded parking spaces, and single-floor living deliver the kind of everyday ease that is genuinely hard to find. The private garden is a true retreat; sheltered, lush, and completely removed from the street. An extraordinary outdoor space for in-city living. Ideally situated between Harvard Square and Kendall Square, with walkable access to Cambridge's finest restaurants, cafés, and cultural destinations. Walkscore 97. Bikescore 100! Don't miss this one. It's a special place to call home.
