SUNDAY SEPT 27 OPEN HOUSE POSTPONED DUE TO WEATHER! Lovely sun-filled unit on tree-lined Bowdoin Street, at the base of Avon Hill between Harvard and Porter Squares. Two blocks to Mass Ave, with a short walk to the Porter Red Line and commuter rail. The unit features hardwood flooring throughout and restored windows. You enter the building through a landscaped courtyard rather than a lobby, and the professionally managed association includes basement laundry, assigned storage, and bike storage. Parking is on-street on Bowdoin by Cambridge permit.The HOA fee covers the essentials, INCLUDING heat and hot water. The unit will need some renovation before move-in; quotes are in hand for the work and we are happy to share them with buyers. The association will also be undertaking a phased plumbing-stack project on a date to be determined.This is a walker’s paradise, just two blocks to shopping, restaurants, and daily necessities along Mass Ave. Radcliffe Quad and Raymond Park are nearby for a short loop, and Danehy Park is there when you want real green space. Lesley is next door; Harvard Law is about a half mile. It is an owner-occupant neighborhood at the foot of Avon Hill, where brick sidewalks and Victorian houses begin as soon as you walk uphill.Porter is the closer T, about a 10-minute walk, with both the Red Line and the Fitchburg commuter rail. Harvard Square’s Red Line is a 15–18 minute walk. The 77 and 96 stop at Mass Ave and Linnaean, a 2–3 minute walk: the 77 runs Harvard–Arlington and the 96 runs Harvard–Medford via Porter. From Porter, the Red Line is one stop to Harvard, then Central, Kendall/MIT, and downtown Boston.
