Charming Cambridge 2-BR townhome steps to MIT, Harvard, Red Line, food & more!

Make yourself at home in this delightful 2-bedroom retreat just outside Central Sq. Cambridge. With a cozy living room, well-equipped kitchen, and outdoor space, guests will feel right at home. Enjoy the convenience of a washing machine, WiFi and workspace. Fall in love with Cambridge and its easy access to all that Greater Boston has to offer.

This spectacular open space set back and among trees is set well off the street - the action in Central Sq. feels distant. But it is only 2.5 blocks away! The house is steps to the Red Line at Central Square, MIT, Harvard, the Charles River, great dining & music, groceries, vintage finds, and more - here's Boston University's good guide to Central Sq. establishments: http://bit.ly/4kOHVBn. Easy transit takes you to BU, Fenway Park, downtown Boston and beyond.

Take advantage of the whole house, everything you need is there. Help yourself to the spice drawer, sugar and other staples. Several grocery stores are within 0.5 miles.

- Flexible second bedroom and/or sitting room with workspace
- Bathroom with shower

- Living room with comfortable sectional sofa that includes two recliners. 40-inch TV with Roku, including Sling TV, and Amazon Prime Video. Books and a bookshelf stereo are also available for your at-home relaxation.
