Turn-key single-family home across from Danehy Park and the award-winning Cambridge Universal Design Playground, in Cambridge's desirable Neighborhood 9, with 60 acres of trails, open fields, and green space right at your doorstep.This extensively updated home features exposed beam detail and an open-concept main level ideal for eating, dining, and living, plus a convenient half bath. The living area is seamlessly connected to the unusually large fenced backyard and patio oasis, complete with a storage shed for the gardener who is ready to dig in. Upstairs, an open architectural staircase with a skylight leads to two well-proportioned bedrooms with excellent light and generous closet storage, along with a full bath and laundry. Outside, enjoy three-car off-street parking, a true luxury in Cambridge, plus unbeatable access to the outdoors: Danehy Park across the street and Fresh Pond's miles of trails are just blocks away.
