Top-floor, south-facing and flooded with natural light, this 3-bedroom flat crowns a 3-unit Victorian building in historic Mid-Cambridge near Maple Avenue and the Duffet Tot lot playground. With high ceilings, maple and fur floors, and two elegant bays, the home radiates warmth and space. The vintage kitchen was redesigned to welcome light through a large picture window, while a walk-in pantry off the rear bedroom offers a rare opportunity: convert it into a future ensuite bath. This classic layout blends charm and potential, inviting your creative vision. Enjoy a private covered deck, storage, and peaceful surroundings just moments from Harvard University, the shops and restaurants of Inman Square, and the Central Sq (0.8 mile) or Union Sq T stations (0.7 mile). Whether you're drawn to the architectural character, the sun-drenched interiors, or the promise of transformation, this top-floor condo offers a rare mix of serenity and possibility in one of Cambridges most coveted enclaves.
