Bright, airy, quiet, well-built condo in one of the most beautiful and coveted Cambridge (Radcliffe/Observatory Hill) neighborhoods.
This one bedroom home comes with many assets including a working (wood fueled) fireplace, many windows, beautiful hard wood floors and lots of closet space.
The neighborhood is exceptionally quiet, tree-filled, safe, graced with many beautiful well-maintained older homes.
The condo is conveniently located to Harvard University/Harvard Square and Porter Square( both a 12 minute walk away) with the "T" subway station at both squares. Massachusetts Ave is just roughly 200 yards way has several very good restaurants, bars , small convenience stores and public transportation.
The Harlow four-story brick building, in which the third-story condo is found, is built like a solid castle with thick walls which silences any/all neighboring unit sounds.
Heat, building and ground maintenance, trash and snow removal are covered with the $420 month HOA fees.
In the building's basement there is a laundry with inexpensive washers, dryers and indoor/outdoor drying clothes-lines.

What the owner loves about this home
How quiet the home is while being in the midst of so many vibrant urban/academic offerings.
I also love the brightness of the condo abetted by many westward-facing windows on the third floor (tree-top and above level.
I love the feeling of spaciousness the home provides (feels much larger than the 762 square feet)
The condo's working (wood) fireplace (especially on cold winter evenings) is immensely satisfying.
The Harvard/Radcliife-Avon Hill-Observatory neighborhood is absolutely amazing.
The quiet ,leafy streets with beautifully maintained homes and gardens possesses a palpable academic vitality. I love the very interesting, vibrantly engaged warmly friendly neighbors.
