About this home
Exceptional 3-bedroom, 2-bath penthouse in a fully restored historic building, originally one of Cambridge?s first Hebrew schools and later a Portuguese fraternal organization. This landmark combines storied character with modern living, featuring soaring 10-foot ceilings, arched windows and exposed brick throughout. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances, including a Fisher & Paykel fridge. Original steel beams, showstopping light fixtures, in-unit laundry, NEST thermostat, and DoorBird video intercom enhance everyday convenience. All 3 bedrooms are generous in size. Hardwood floors, central air, ample closet space, bike storage, and a shared yard area complete the home. Located in vibrant Inman Square, steps from award-winning restaurants and cafes, a short walk to the new Green Line extension, and moments from Union Square, this penthouse offers a seamless blend of historic charm and contemporary comfort.
