Graceful proportions, abundant natural light, and a thoughtfully connected floor plan define this sun-filled second-floor residence with 2 decks and 2-car parking, tucked on a tree-filled one-way street, two blocks to Alewife T station. Well-scaled rooms flow naturally from one to the next, creating interiors that feel both open and distinct—blending the character of a classic Cambridge home with the ease of modern living. Bay-windowed living and dining rooms, beautifully refinished fir floors, and generous ceiling heights lend warmth and timeless appeal. The spacious eat-in kitchen, centered around an island, opens to a covered deck for seamless indoor-outdoor living. Two comfortable bedrooms share a four-piece bath with soaking tub and separate shower. In-unit laundry, dedicated basement storage, shared yard complete the offering. Near Fresh Pond, Russell pool & fields, running trails, Alewife, Porter and Davis Squares, Route 2, neighborhood schools, and shops.
