maker's modernist perch. Every cubic inch is considered as daylight explores the custom fabrication and layout of this top floor apartment. The space feels and performs bigger than its footprint. Every corner has been tailored: shelves become ladders, window becomes bridges, secret cupboards, hand made sinks, laundry in the back hall, a convertible sun room where the attic used to be. The open kitchen - living- dining room spans the center of the space with a bedroom on each end. The back bedroom has its own 3/4 bath. The front bedroom is across the hall from a common full bath. Additionally accessed from the central space are two crawl in guest lofts / storage areas; one with a window and a tv, each four feet to the peak. One loft is accessed by a ladder, the other by a bookshelf stair. My partner, (a professor of contemporary art history) and I completely rebuilt the apartment in 2010 before we lived in it until her work took us to CT in 2015. Floors and cabinets were refinished and the whole place was painted in 2025. As much attention was given to energy efficiency as was given to that of space. Solar heating + Heat recovery fresh air ventilation + Four inches of continuous exterior insulation with blown in at joist bays provides 3x thermal resistance compared to most insulated homes + Clean burning little wood stove easily heats the whole space with only two loads on the coldest days + Electric resistance baseboards will be replaced this summer by a heat pump for heating and cooling. 0.4 miles to the red line in Davis or Porter. 0.6 miles to green line in Ball sq. Three Little Figs, the Bike Path, Lotus yoga, ++ all just a few blocks away. One mile to both Tufts and Harvard campuses. One year lease First and last + 1,500 security at move in Be considerate of neighbors Sublet with written approval only No pets No smoking Utilities not included
