About this home

Among The Residences at Charles Square in the heart of Harvard Sq., this 6th-floor condominium offers a front-row seat to the Charles River, bathed in exquisite southern light. Designed for connection and comfort, the open living and dining area flows into the kitchen, where a wide pass-through invites conversation while keeping culinary magic behind the scenes—a perfect balance of togetherness and privacy. Tucked at the back, two serene bedrooms are lit with soft northern light, including a primary suite with a walk-in closet and double-vanity bath. For 15+ years, the sellers have embraced the best of Harvard Square—its vibrant cafés, rich culture, and tranquil riverside walks—while enjoying easy access to Harvard, MIT, and Boston just across the bridge. Garage parking, a semi-private elevator, a highly attentive staff, and a warm community have ensured a seamless living experience at home. And now, this refined residence is ready to welcome its next owner to do the same.
