About this home

Dream about living in the heart of Harvard Square? This 1-bedroom/1-bath condo on quiet, one-way Ware Street is just 2 blocks to Harvard Yard, and .4 miles to the redline MBTA station. Situated in a classic brick building with a zen-like garden courtyard, it offers a smart layout that flows and includes an off-street parking space and extra storage. An expansive main living room has space enough for dedicated living and dining areas, while a spacious entryway can flex as a home office. There are hardwood floors, newer replacement windows, and new light fixtures throughout. The Bancroft Court Condominiums are professionally managed, have elevator service and intercom for guests, and card-operated laundry facilities and bicycle storage in the basement. With fees that include heat and hot water, this well maintained condo is a perfect fit for investors, and anyone seeking immediate access to Harvard Square. Offers are due Tuesday, 7/20 at 10am.
