About this home
Overlooking historic Cambridge Common, this bright and sunny fourth-floor corner unit is perfectly situated for city living. The residence features a spacious one-bedroom layout, an updated eat-in galley kitchen, a large living area with custom built-ins, ample shelving, and a convenient Murphy bed. Recently refreshed with new paint, the condo also offers generous closet space. Located close to Harvard Law School, Harvard Square, and the MBTA Red Line, the unit provides easy access to Harvard’s educational offerings, local dining, and shopping. Commuting is also an option, with direct subway connections to Kendall Square, MIT, and Boston. The professionally managed brick building includes two elevators, a full-time resident superintendent, and on-site laundry. This property would make a fine home, a wonderful pied-à-terre, or a great investment rental for a graduate student.
