What's special

Top floor studioHardwood floorsRecently renovated bathroomHome entertainment projection system

Harvard Square adjacent studio duplex is for sale. This top floor studio has been expanded to include a finished attic currently outfitted as a private study, a home entertainment projection system and extra storage. The lower, original floor has a recently renovated bathroom, hard wood floors and all the charm expected from a New England studio apartment. Priced at 800k, thousands below median condo sale price for the area, you get the quintessential Cambridge experience at a rare bargain price. Views from this sunny unit are of a landscaped court yard, the T is close, shopping is close and schools are close. This is a true gem of a location. I lived here for years with my son and rented it out for a long time as well. This property is an investment grade income property or a lovely home. You decide, but don't miss this rare opportunity in one of most celebrated areas of Massachusetts.
