About this home

A crisp and stylish condo on wonderful Fayerweather Street, this four-bedroom home was gut-renovated in 2014 and meticulously maintained and updated since. Cross the classic front porch to an entry mudroom, with an open-plan dining room/living room beyond. Bookcases and abundant light enliven the space. The kitchen has clean lines, excellent lighting, and a large central island with pendants and barstool seating. In the back of the first floor are a full bath, main bedroom with private bath and walk-in closet, and a bedroom that opens to the shared back porch. Downstairs is a full-height (7' 3")  lower level with a large bathroom with washer and dryer, a spacious family room, two bedrooms, and a workshop/utility room. The shared backyard has mature plantings and an exclusive-use patio. Close to Fresh Pond, Danehy Park, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, public transit, the new Darby Vassall middle school, and the shops and restaurants of Huron Village. A perfect Cambridge condo to call home!

What do these numbers mean?

DESE accountability percentiles (1–99) compare schools administering similar assessments, using up to two years of indicators. These are not test scores out of 100 or GreatSchools 1–10 ratings. Progress toward targets is a separate state measure. Consider programs, support services and your child’s needs as well.

School names link to available school or district websites.
