About this home

Enjoy the convenience of living in Harvard Square in the charming Professors Row neighborhood. This delightful detached single at the end of a mews of attached townhouses gives you a sense of community, yet the singular privacy of a free-standing home. Open floor plan visually expands the size of this house, especially when adding the L-shaped family room/flex room at the end. Previous owners have used this spacious room with cathedral ceiling as a first floor bedroom with office and en suite bath. French doors lead to a private fenced yard, a lovely spot to enjoy any meal of the day or for entertaining. The efficient kitchen with gas stove is a bit recessed to keep a messy kitchen out of sight. Two bedrooms with cathedral ceilings and a full bath occupy the second floor; the smaller bedroom has a loft for storage or some other creative use. The lower level houses the w/d and a room for various uses, with an extra room for storage. Near Harvard, MIT, the Squares; the Charles River & T
