Baldwin neighborhood. Set well back from the street, this middle townhouse offers a notably private, tucked-away feel while being entirely rebuilt within—an authentic reinvention from the inside out. With dual exposures, light moves cleanly from side to side, giving the home a calm, composed feel. The main level is open and functional, with kitchen, dining, and living spaces flowing together, plus a powder room and covered deck. Upstairs are three bedrooms, three bathrooms with well-positioned laundry, and a generous private deck with southern exposure. The lower level adds a family room, bedroom, and full bath—flexible space for guests, work, or everyday use. The design is quietly contemporary, with wood accents adding warmth and texture. One-car parking. Positioned between Harvard and Porter Squares, with Red Line access at both and the commuter rail at Porter. Close to Inman and Kirkland Village, and around the corner from Giulia, Moëca, Pavement, Simon’s, and Bagelsaurus.
