Overlooking Observatory Hill, this two-bedroom condominium occupies the third floor of a classic prewar Harlow building on one of Cambridge’s most recognizable streets. Ideally located just a few blocks from Harvard Square and Harvard University, with the Charles River and the shops and restaurants of Huron Village nearby. A welcoming entry hall leads to the open concept living space filled with natural light from large corner windows. The functional kitchen features an extended dining peninsula, gas range, and dishwasher. Antique hardwood floors, crown molding, and an ornamental fireplace add warmth and timeless character throughout. The impressive bedrooms measure approximately 21' x 21' and 17' x 9' and have impressive windows. With its proximity to Harvard University, the condominium has long been popular with renters, making it an excellent opportunity for an investor or an ideal home for those seeking classic Cambridge charm. The building offers a beautifully landscaped courtyard and common garden, along with shared laundry on the lower level. One off-street parking space is included. With its classic architectural details, abundant natural light, and exceptional location, this is a distinctive Cambridge residence.
