About this home

Welcome to this beautifully updated, technology-forward townhouse on a charming tree-lined side street with a private 20’ × 20’ courtyard. Meticulously maintained and continuously improved, the home has been freshly repainted throughout, with hardwood floors professionally refinished and polished, creating a bright, fresh, move-in-ready feel. Southern and western exposures bring abundant natural light across three comfortable levels. The owners have made significant investments in smart-home technology, including Nest climate control, Tempest smart environmental monitoring, smart toilets in both full baths, 24/7 local video camera monitoring, smart entry and security, and whole-home water filtration. The private courtyard features low-maintenance turf and mature rose bushes. The two side-by-side townhouse residences may also be purchased together, offering a rare opportunity for multi-generational living. Fabulous East Cambridge location near Kendall Square, MIT, Lechmere Green Line, the Charles River, and major highways.
