Rare penthouse in Harvard Square — the only condo on the 5th floor. This top-floor loft with approx. 11 ft ceilings offers hardwood floors, four sides of light, and in-unit laundry. The current owners thoughtfully renovated the kitchen and created two full baths, updating plumbing and electrical for modern comfort. The expansive private roof deck offers sweeping city views creates a space that invites everything from sunrise yoga to summer movie nights, winter igloo dining, quiet mornings with coffee, or evenings spent entertaining under the stars. It’s a setting that elevates daily living. Tucked on a quiet one-way residential street just minutes to Harvard, Lesley, Radcliffe, the Red Line, Commuter Rail, and the shops and restaurants between Harvard and Porter Squares, and there is easy street parking. Ideal as a primary home or Pied-à-terre. Only the second time offered in 31 years. The entrance to the unit is on the 4th floor. Also available for rent.
