About this home

Tucked behind a privacy gate and peaceful courtyard off Mass Ave, this spacious home in a classic pre-war building offers an elevated perspective with panoramic views of Green Street through nine enormous windows that allows for abundant natural daylight. Inside are generously sized rooms with high ceilings and refinished hardwood floors. The bright living/dining area opens to a renovated kitchen with mid-century modern and Hollywood Regency flair — featuring stone counters and backsplash, custom cabinetry, gas cooking, water filtration, custom window treatments, and period checkered tile floors. Off the living room is a serene primary bedroom with custom closet and a hall bathroom. The second bedroom has an en-suite half bath. Amenities in this pet-friendly building include a large deeded storage room, shared laundry, and two deeded parking spaces. HOA fee includes heat, hot water, landscaping, snow removal, and off-site management. Conveniently located between Harvard and Central Sq.
