This sun-splashed, elegant, expansive 1st-floor unit has been completely redone with meticulous attention to detail. In a 2-family house on a quiet street in leafy Huron Village/West Cambridge, walking distance to Harvard, the open, airy space offers stylish architectural elements and high-end finishes. The contemporary eat-in kitchen with its large bay window & window-seat overlooks the garden; a storage pantry leads to stairs to the laundry.

A brand-new marble-tiled bath offers built-in storage, a vessel sink, shower, full tub and dimmable low-voltage lighting. The dining room, with its copper chair-rail and built-in sideboard, is furnished with an expandable table seating 8. French doors through the living room lead to a beautiful sun-room/study with a custom built-in office area and an all-in-one color printer/fax/copier. Among the designer furniture in the living room is a BKF butterfly chair, a leather club chair, a handmade wool rug, and a sumptuous sofa. The master bedroom features a queen bed, walk-in closet and an additional wardrobe. The second bedroom offers a twin bed and small desk. A fold-out sofa that sleeps two additional guests is in the study. Throughout the unit are hardwood floors, European cable and recessed dimmable lighting, roomy storage and a central sound system. Drink your morning coffee on the covered back porch overlooking the leafy, perennial-bordered backyard. Relax in the double hammock or grow vegetables & herbs in the small kitchen garden. A new bluestone patio, enclosed by trellisses, and a cobblestone driveway were just completed. A second patio is in the works. Entertain with a wood-fired barbecue and a table seating up to 10.
