About this home

A perfectly charming single family located on a peaceful cul-de-sac off Western Ave. Would you expect a detached single family convenient to The B-school, Harvard, Charles River and Whole Foods and Trader Joe's with so much charm and sophistication? Owners converted a drab house into a contemporary home with chef's kitchen and luxurious main bedroom suite. The kitchen has refined sand/soapstone countertops and acacia wood sink counters in the island. Dining area blends seamlessly into the living room with original hardwood flooring and lots of natural light. 1st floor has modern half bath with washer/dryer. Second floor has spacious main bedroom with nook for WFH and a separate office or nursery. The luxury is in the full tiled bathroom with radiant heat flooring, heat lamp overhead, walk-in shower and huge soaking tub. An amenity not to be missed. Small yard and dry basement & attic for storage complete the offering.

This diamond in the rough is just steps from the Charles River, located on a quiet side street just a stroll to Harvard & Central Sqares. High ceilings and large windows show off an abundance of light and space. Newer furnace and hot water heater with neighborhood amenities including short walk to Whole Foods Market & Riverside Press Park make this Antique Colonial worth investing in. Property is sold "as is".
