OFFER ACCEPTED - OPEN HOUSE CANCELED. Set on a sleepy side street in the Baldwin neighborhood, just two blocks from Porter Square, this top-floor two-bedroom blends classic charm with joyful color and natural light. Oversized windows, high ceilings, oak floors, and vintage trim anchor a gracious floor plan with north and south exposures. The living room centers on a wood-burning fireplace with period mantel. In the dining room, a bay window with stained glass, open shelving, and cheerful yellow trim bring elegant warmth. The kitchen’s open layout and curated details are perfect for everyday living or entertaining. The tranquil main bedroom feels like a retreat, with soft tones, views, and room to breathe. The second bedroom—now a vibrant, custom-outfitted library and office—is an ideal work-from-home hideaway. Professionally managed, long-established association with a patio, gardens, bike room, and private storage. Just 2 blocks to Porter Square / Red Line, 1 mile to Harvard Sq.
