Character and convenience between Harvard and Central Squares! On the top floor of a stately Victorian building with tree top views, this inviting 2-bedroom residence offers 9’ ceilings, exposed brick, lots of natural light, and a quiet, peaceful space. The nicely appointed kitchen features quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances and a stylish backsplash. Both bedrooms are generously sized, each with a double closet. 2020-installed mini-splits provide efficient year-round heating and cooling, and in-unit laundry adds a true convenience for everyday urban living. A large private storage room and common laundry are in the basement. On a picturesque, tree-lined street minutes to everything including Inman, Central and Harvard Squares, MBTA (Red Line and buses), Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, the Charles River, and some of the best cafes, restaurants, and shops that Cambridge has to offer!
