Tucked back on a one-way, leafy street just a few short blocks from Harvard Yard and down the road from CRLS and the Cambridge Main Library, this townhouse-style condo at 61 Dana is more than a home - it's a launchpad for a true Cambridge experience. A striking blend of mid-century modern design within a classic Victorian, this home features a dramatic open main level with soaring ceilings and expansive floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with natural light. The living, dining, and kitchen areas flow seamlessly, anchored by an exposed brick wood-burning fireplace and opening directly to a private patio and garden area framed by Japanese Maples and raised flower beds. Upstairs, two bedrooms, a full bath, and a deck, plus a versatile finished lower level with a half bath. Amenities include mini-split AC, off-street parking, extra storage, shared laundry, and a well-run condo association. Steps to neighborhood staples Pammy's, Asaro, and Waypoint; Central, Inman, and MIT nearby.
