Sun-filled top-floor, corner residence perched atop coveted Observatory Hill. Nestled on a picturesque, tree-lined street in one of Cambridge's most charming residential neighborhoods, this exceptional home is just moments from the vibrant shops, acclaimed restaurants, and cultural attractions of Harvard Square. One deeded parking space offers the perfect balance of peaceful neighborhood living and unmatched urban convenience. A grand, welcoming foyer opens to generously proportioned rooms bathed in natural light from multiple exposures. Thoughtfully designed with abundant closet space throughout the home seamlessly blends the gracious proportions and architectural character of the pre-war era with tasteful modern updates. The expansive living room is anchored by an ornamental fireplace and framed by three oversized windows overlooking mature trees, creating a bright and inviting space for everyday living and entertaining. Two equally spacious bedrooms offer exceptional scale and flexibility. The updated kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and abundant cabinetry, while the windowed bathroom is finished with timeless subway tile. Residents enjoy an expansive common patio set within beautifully landscaped grounds and a sprawling lawn—an ideal setting for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying the outdoors. Additional amenities include bike storage, storage, and common laundry in the basement.
