Tucked away just behind the energy and convenience of Main Street, this charming single-family home beautifully blends antique character with thoughtful modern updates and amenities. Ideally located near Rt. 93, Assembly Row, the Orange Line, Whole Foods, Hood Park/Cambridge Crossing and popular neighborhood restaurants and shops like Monument, Junebug, Monroe Home and La Saison Bakery, this home offers both a peaceful setting and easy access to everything you need. The gut-renovated kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring Brazilian White Pearl quartzite countertops, custom hickory cabinetry, Bosch stainless steel appliances and a sun-filled bump-out with floor-to-ceiling windows. French doors in the living area open to a private patio/courtyard that wraps around the side of the home creating a wonderful extension of the living space for outdoor entertaining. The second-floor offers expansive, flexible space with a separate nook ideal for a home office along with an additional living area, full bathroom and laundry. The top floor features a primary bedroom with skylight and a second bedroom being used as a nursery with a beautifully renovated Jack-and-Jill bathroom. Additional features include 3 ductless mini-split systems for air conditioning, a new Burnham gas-fired boiler and ample basement storage.
