    What's special

    Good things come to those who wait, 02138 edition! 28 Lowell Street is that fabled but rarely seen single family home - not too big, not too small, recently renovated, located just outside of Harvard Square, and a stone's throw to the Charles River. Move right into this home brimming with meticulously planned space and incredible utility: a crisp, bright kitchen; proper dining and living rooms; 5 bedrooms (with a primary suite); 2.5 baths. There's room in the basement for your Peloton and plenty of Legos, and additional unfinished space for skis, bikes, tools, and the spoils from hoardy runs to Costco. Outside brings a tidy, shingled exterior and a professionally landscaped urban yard and patio. Leave the car in the driveway and enjoy the many recreational opportunities at your doorstep: running by the river, skating, tennis, and just across the street lies beautiful Lowell School Park, with lots of quiet leafiness for adult repose and plenty of space for little legs to run and climb.

    This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Zillow. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
