Baldwin neighborhood. Set well back from the street, this end townhouse offers a notably private, tucked-away feel while being entirely built from the ground up - a thoughtful extension of a handsome 1850s Victorian. Three exposures bring in steady light, and the proportions feel easy and livable. The main level unfolds as an open sequence of living, dining, and kitchen, with a powder room and a private back deck. Upstairs are three bedrooms with en-suite baths and well-placed laundry. The lower level adds a family room, bedroom, and full bath - flexible space for guests or work. The design is quietly contemporary, warmed by wood accents and a restrained palette. 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, Moeca, Pavement, Simon’s, and Bagelsaurus.
