Don't miss this beautifully renovated top-floor residence tucked away on a private way in the heart of Mid-Cambridge, just steps from Harvard Sq! Thoughtfully transformed through a high-quality, architect-designed 2014 renovation of an elegant 3-family residence, this sun-filled home offers 6 rooms, 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths and 1,075 sq ft of thoughtfully designed living space. The bright, open-concept living, dining and kitchen area features high ceilings, beautifully refinished hardwood floors and wonderful natural light, with the added benefit of no one living above you. The spacious kitchen is ideal for cooking and entertaining, with custom white cabinetry, crown molding, Biscayne White granite counters, breakfast bar and stainless appliances. A separate office/study provides an ideal work-from-home space, while custom California Closet systems enhance storage in the 2nd bedroom and office.

Additional conveniences include central A/C, in-unit laundry, basement storage and 1-car parking.
