This gracious and grown-up oversized two-bed condo is spread out primarily on a single level and is flooded with light from skylights above. Pragmatists will love the updated systems, side-by-side laundry, and abundant storage; Cambridge bibliophiles will be delighted to find walls of shelves for a life surrounded by books; and the south-facing private patio will excite entertainers and gardeners alike. The capacious primary suite has windows on two sides and a skylight above; a large walk-in closet; and a gorgeous en-suite bathroom (redone 2019). The flexible second bedroom is currently set up as a peaceful study, with access to the fenced patio. An office alcove outside the kitchen is control central, with a built-in double desk and a wall of shelves. The quiet location belies the surrounding urban excitement: Within a 1-mile radius is the gustatory goodness of both Davis + Porter Squares, and Alewife's transportation hub. Close to Route 2, I-93, and a quick hop to Harvard and MIT.
