A Cambridge SF as loved and lovable as this one seldom comes to market. Occupied by 1 family since 1996, it is well maintained and thoughtfully updated. An inviting front porch opens to a tiled foyer w/stained glass window. Light streams thru LR and DR; a partial wall btwn them allows for easy flow while maintaining defined spaces. Glass drs open from DR to a lg deck with seating areas, plantings, and wood fence. A wood arbor separates this backyard haven from the driveway. Adjacent to the DR is a sizable kitchen w/Euro-style open shelving; quartz counters; tile fl; wood cabinets; ss appliances; double windows above sink; and island w/seating on DR side. A laundry room w/half bath complete the 1st fl. Upstairs are 3 bdrms - 1 w/a loft space and door to private balcony overlooking deck. Full, tiled bathroom w/skylight. Unfinished bsmt has storage and workshop space. Nestled btwn Davis Sq. and Mass Ave. near 2 bike paths, this location has great walkability and transit options.
