About this home

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. One of the home's highlights is the large private rear deck—a peaceful outdoor retreat overlooking neighboring gardens. Residents also enjoy a shared fenced backyard and pet-friendly association. Additional conveniences include central A/C, in-unit laundry, basement storage and 1-car parking. Set back off Roberts Road on a private way, this well-maintained, owner-occupied building offers a quiet residential setting remarkably close to everything. With a Walk Score of 93 and perfect Bike Score of 100, Kirkland Village is approx. 5 minutes away, Whole Foods about 10 minutes, and Harvard Square and the Red Line approx. 12 minutes on foot. Cambridge Rindge & Latin, Cambridge Public Library, parks, restaurants, cafés, shops and cultural attractions are all nearby. Recent improvements include newer A/C condenser, appliances, hot-water tank, windows and deck staining. Top-floor living, 2 baths, office, private deck, parking, central air and in-unit laundry—an exceptional Mid-Cambridge combination.
