    In-unit laundryHardwood floorsPeriod detailSeparate sitting roomBow windowsHigh ceilingsGenerous proportions
    Rarely does a Cambridge condominium offer this combination of scale, character, and location. Spanning 1,819 sq ft across the top floor of a beautifully preserved 1890 building, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath floor-through home offers generous proportions, period detail, and a flexible layout suited to both everyday living and entertaining. High ceilings, a skylight, hardwood floors, and bow windows bring warmth and natural light throughout. Multiple living spaces include a generous living room, formal dining room with fireplace, and separate sitting room. The eat-in kitchen features premium appliances, while both bathrooms have been renovated with contemporary finishes, including a glass-enclosed rain shower in the primary bath. In-unit laundry adds everyday convenience. Two private decks extend the living space outdoors, with mature trees creating a peaceful, treehouse-like setting. Generous storage, garage and driveway parking add to the ease of ownership. Harvard Square, Inman and Union Squares, and the Red and Green Lines are all easily accessible, with independent coffee shops, restaurants, the public library, bakeries, and specialty grocers just around the corner. Easy bike access further connects you to Cambridge and beyond.
