A home that feels tucked away yet connected to everything. Set on Avon Hill, just moments from Porter Sq, 40 Mt. Vernon St. #1 offers easy living in one of Cambridge’s most sought after neighborhoods. Spanning 2,730 sq. ft. across two thoughtfully designed levels, it has 3 bedrooms & 3 bathrooms. The main level feels gracious and welcoming, with high ceilings, beautiful light, and a lovely living room centered around a rounded bay window. The kitchen is both smart and inviting, with painted cabinetry, a generous island, and Wolf range. A lovely bedroom suite completes this floor. The lower level is bright and unexpectedly open, offering a spacious family room with direct access to a private patio. Two additional bedrooms, each with their own bath, provide comfort and flexibility for guests, family, or work from home. Close to the Red Line, neighborhood restaurants, shops, & the quiet beauty of Avon Hill, this is a home with a rare combination of elegance, privacy, & everyday ease.
