Classic Cambridge flat, just steps to lively Porter Square and the Mass Ave corridor of fun shops and restaurants. Maple floors, bay windows, fireplace with wide mantel, stained glass window, built-in china cabinet, high ceilings, original paneled doors and door hardware – so many wonderful, character-defining details blended with modern updates and amenities: in-unit laundry, new stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, generous basement storage, and a professionally landscaped common patio and grill area. A lovely spot to call home.
