About this home

Tucked away on a quiet side street in the heart of Porter Square, this well-appointed condo within a classic six-unit Victorian brick building offers a highly efficient front-to-back layout. The residence unfolds into a bright, open-concept living area where a thoughtfully updated kitchen—featuring white shaker cabinetry, grey granite countertops, a marble tile backsplash, and stainless appliances—centers around a peninsula with seating. Hardwood floors lead to a front-facing bedroom flooded with natural light with ample closet space and room for a desk. The other two bedrooms provide additional versatility for guests or office use, while the updated full bath features a black-and-white ceramic floor and a gracious subway-tiled stall shower. Modern comforts include central AC and private basement storage. Ideally situated just ~400 feet from the Red Line, commuter rail, and Porter shopping center, this home offers easy access to Davis Square, Harvard, and the very best of Cambridge.
