Tucked behind a privacy gate and peaceful courtyard off Mass Ave, this spacious home in a classic pre-war building offers panoramic views of Green Street. Inside are generously sized rooms with high ceilings and refinished hardwood floors. The bright living/dining area opens to a renovated kitchen with mid-century modern and Hollywood Regency flair — featuring stone counters and backsplash, custom cabinetry, gas cooking, water filtration, custom window treatments, and period checkered tile floors. Off the living room is a serene primary bedroom with custom closet and a hall bathroom. The second bedroom has an en-suite half bath. Amenities in this pet-friendly building include a large deeded storage room, shared laundry, and two deeded parking spaces. HOA fee includes heat, hot water, landscaping, snow removal, and off-site management. Conveniently located between Harvard and Central Square.
