About This Home

217 Harvard St Unit #BL
Available Sep 1

This is a beautiful extra large two bedroom apartment a couple of blocks from Central Sq and easy walking distance to Kendall Square. It is a ground level apartment but gets very good light for a basement and the windows are going to be enlarged with larger window wells. The air-conditioning is by wall hung mini splits - this heat pump system is very efficient. Beautiful modern kitchen and laundry in the unit plus all good sized rooms and some exposed brick make this a unique space in a wonderful location and also an excellent value. (Reference #178495)
