Description

Views of Boston from this cheerful top floor condo with lots of natural light (4 skylights) and wooden floors throughout. Modern and simple, wooden cabinets and granite countertops in the kitchen, combination living room/dining room has a high ceiling and a fireplace. Large closets, in-unit brand new washer/dryer, reserved parking space in back, quiet porch with views of Tufts chapel and Boston. We recently had the whole building insulated and all the windows are double-pane glass, so the condo is easy to heat or cool with the central air (heat/AC). There's also a large ceiling fan in the living room for spring and fall. The condo is fully furnished with everything you need in the kitchen from pots/pans/muffin tins to tupperware to dishes and mixing bowls. Appliances include a stainless steel refridgerator and dishwasher, gas stove, toaster and microwave. The beds (Queen in the bedroom and Twin in the office) are each firm pillowtop mattresses. The bedframe, dresser, dining room table and chairs are all cherry wood from the Shaker furniture collection sold at Circle Furniture. The owners of the three units in this building form a highly cooperative condo association which covers the costs for snow removal, yard maintenance, compost pick-up, and electricity and water for the common spaces. All three units are smoke-free and each has a reserved parking spot in the backyard (although there's usually plenty of parking on the street). The location is ideal, with “Very Walkable," “Excellent Transit," and “Very Bikeable” scores. Steps from Tufts University and the local cafes and eateries of Davis Square. Two subway stops from Harvard and a few more to MIT and downtown Boston, 20 min drive from airport (outside of rush hour), surprisingly quick (10 min) access to the highways leading to adventures outside of the city.
