The eat-in chef’s kitchen features high-end stainless-steel appliances and a dining area with French doors to the yard, plus a half bath on this level. Upstairs, the primary suite has a bay window, fireplace, custom walk-in closet, and four-piece bath. Two additional bedroom suites and laundry complete the second floor. The skylit top floor offers three more bedrooms and a hall bath. The lower level includes a family room, exercise studio, full bath, and second laundry room. Located just a few blocks away from the Harvard Quad and Cambridge Common. Easy access to Boston and beyond via Memorial Drive.
