About this home

Perched on the top floor and bathed in southern light, this classic Cambridge flat offers the timeless proportions and flexibility that make these homes so enduringly desirable. Configured as either a three-bedroom home or a two-bedroom with gracious formal living and dining rooms, the five-room layout adapts beautifully to today's lifestyle. High ceilings, bay windows, beautiful golden fir floors, and abundant natural light create warm, inviting interiors, while the updated bathroom and spacious eat-in kitchen on the back add everyday comfort. Set on a quiet residential street between Harvard and Central Squares, the home enjoys rooftop outlooks, roof deck rights, exceptional privacy, dedicated storage room, a lush and peaceful backyard with paved patio, and easy access to cafés, restaurants, the Red Line, Central square, Harvard University, MIT, and everything that defines Cambridge living. Walkable neighborhood, and easy on street parking.
