Tucked back from the street, this sun-filled two-story end unit with its own private entrance and garage parking lives like a small townhome. Recently refreshed with a full interior repaint and refinished hardwood floors, the home is stylish, move-in ready, and set in a peaceful, garden-side location.
The southeast-facing main living area is the heart of the home featuring soaring 10-foot ceilings, a decorative fireplace, and dramatic windows on three sides that bathe the space in natural light from morning to evening.
Upstairs, the generous primary suite offers an en-suite bath and enough space for a dedicated work-from-home setup. A washer/dryer is easily accessible just below the unit.
The location is a true standout: just two blocks from Mass Ave and moments to the Red Line at Porter Square, with Harvard Square also nearby. Enjoy unbeatable access to top-rated restaurants, coffee shops, independent bookstores, gyms, grocery stores, and local boutiques all within walking distance.
Whether you're commuting, meeting friends for dinner, or enjoying a quiet weekend at home, this property offers the ideal blend of city convenience and residential tranquility.
