Description

This 4 bedroom single family house (fully deleaded in 2020) sits right outside of Harvard square, on the doorstep of the main library of Cambridge with its expansive grass field as well as the War Memorial pool. The main living space is on the second floor with a large open space containing the living room, dining room, kitchen plus direct access to a balcony (an extra room in all the warm weather months!). Off this space there is a bedroom and access to a small room that can be used as an office or a young child's bedroom (which is *not* counted as 1 of the 4 listed bedrooms). Upstairs, there are two more bedrooms and a spacious bathroom. On the first floor is the 4th bedroom, another large room, and the second bathroom. There is actually a 2nd kitchen on the first floor as well (as this is a multi-family house which we are renting as a single family) with a sink, stove, and refrigerator. The outdoor spaces of the house are: 1) The balcony off the 2nd floor which gets wonderful sun and has an extendable awning when that sun is too much. 2) The covered porch off the 1st floor. 3) A brick walkway along the side of the building leading to a brick patio behind the building with a table and chairs. The house is fully furnished, but the furniture in the photos is not the same as what is currently in the house. (The piano and large build-in island is the same -- much of the other furniture is similar. Photos available on request.) There is ample storage space in the (unfinished) basement
