This is a stunning architecturally designed townhouse just five blocks from Harvard Sq. Located a short distance from restaurants, shops, cafes, and public transportation, this three-level, 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home in the Cambridgeport neighborhood feels more like a single family. The open floor plan provides plenty of room for entertaining, while the 2 upstairs bedrooms have cathedral ceilings and skylights. The lower level, with a private entrance, allows for a separate living space to be created. Great for an office or au-pair suite. Highlights include a gas fireplace, a modern kitchen featuring granite countertops w/ peninsula, stainless steel appliances, maple floors, in-unit laundry HU, central a/c and heat, built-in storage, private deck, a well manicured yard, and fresh paint, all situated on a sunny corner lot. The iconic Charles River is around the corner, and Central Sq and MIT are also so close by. The location doesn't get much better!
