About this home
A perfect blend of period detail and modern comfort in this second-floor unit of a classic 1886 Mid-Cambridge brownstone, located right on the corner of Broadway and Dana Street. Soaring ceilings set the tone throughout, complemented by two marble fireplaces, exposed brick, elegant crown moldings, and a decorative ceiling medallion. Oversized bay windows flood the space with natural light and frame lovely tree-lined street views. Hardwood floors run throughout, and a ductless mini-split system. The kitchen is equipped with a dishwasher, range, refrigerator and has common laundry in the building. Location can't be beat: Adjacent to Harvard Square, the Red Line, and bus lines. Enjoy the main public library, Joan Lorenz Park, the community tennis courts, or the Harvard Art Museum, all just outside your door. Dine nearby at classics like Alden & Harlow and Harvest or hotspots such as Wusong Road, Faro Cafe & Berryline. Available furnished or unfurnished. Rent INCLUDES heat, hot water, municipal trash, recycling and composting.
