About this home

Lovely sun-filled unit on tree-lined Bowdoin Street, at the base of Avon Hill between Harvard and Porter Squares. Two blocks to Mass Ave, with a short walk to the Porter Red Line and commuter rail. The unit features hardwood flooring throughout and restored windows. You enter the building through a landscaped courtyard rather than a lobby, and the professionally managed association includes basement laundry, assigned storage, and bike storage. Parking is on-street on Bowdoin by Cambridge permit.The HOA fee covers the essentials, INCLUDING heat and hot water. The unit will need some renovation before move-in; quotes are in hand for the work and we are happy to share them with buyers. The association will also be undertaking a phased plumbing-stack project on a date to be determined.This is a walker’s paradise, just two blocks to shopping, restaurants, and daily necessities along Mass Ave. Radcliffe Quad and Raymond Park are nearby for a short loop, and Danehy Park is there when you want real green space. Lesley is next door; Harvard Law is about a half mile. It is an owner-occupant neighborhood at the foot of Avon Hill, where brick sidewalks and Victorian houses begin as soon as you walk uphill.Porter is the closer T, about a 10-minute walk, with both the Red Line and the Fitchburg commuter rail. Harvard Square’s Red Line is a 15–18 minute walk. The 77 and 96 stop at Mass Ave and Linnaean, a 2–3 minute walk: the 77 runs Harvard–Arlington and the 96 runs Harvard–Medford via Porter. From Porter, the Red Line is one stop to Harvard, then Central, Kendall/MIT, and downtown Boston.

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.
