The residence features hardwood floors, 9-foot ceilings, abundant natural light, and period details. The eat-in kitchen provides ample cabinet space and a window-side dining nook, while the vintage tiled bath maintains the home’s classic character. Two generous closets offer excellent storage. Building amenities include common laundry, bicycle storage, private storage for rent, and a shared roof deck with city views. Ideally located just minutes from Harvard and Porter Squares, the Red Line, shops, restaurants, parks, and other neighborhood conveniences.
