    What's special

    This elegant 2 bed/2 bath duplex condo is sited on a gorgeous side street in leafy Cambridgeport, only 5 blocks to Central Square and the Red Line T. A quiet retreat from the nearby bustle, this well-planned 1870 home offers graciously proportioned common spaces, high ceilings, hardwood floors, and beautiful architectural detail. Its substantial window casings and baseboards evoke the charm of its period, while recent updates and astute care give it contemporary comforts. The kitchen is a pleasure to cook in, with large work surfaces, granite counters, abundant cabinets & stainless steel appliances. The second floor is a complete master suite, with a large bedroom, full bath, and built-in office area. A welcoming farmer's porch at the front of the home and a shared patio among the side gardens offer options for outdoor enjoyment. Close to Harvard and MIT, and the location also affords easy access to downtown Boston and the Longwood Medical Area. Walk Score of 96 and Bike Score of 99.
