Description

This sun-splashed, elegant, expansive 1st-floor furnished unit has been completely redone with meticulous attention to detail. The first level of a 2-family house on a quiet street in leafy Huron Village/West Cambridge, walking distance to Harvard and Fresh Pond, 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. The kitchen office nook with wireless internet doubles as a bar for entertaining. A brand-new marble-floored 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 office/sun-room with a custom built-in desk & shelving. 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 and walk-in closet. The second bedroom offers a twin bed and dresser and a wardrobe. In the study is a fold-out sofa that can sleep one or two additional guests. 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 perennial-bordered backyard. Relax in the double hammock or pick some chives, mint, and oregano from the small kitchen garden. Two bluestone patios, enclosed by trellises, and a cobblestone driveway were just completed. Serve cocktails around the fire bowl, challenge your guests to a game of croquet, and serve them dinner at a table seating up to 10.
