Theres something about the view - a perfectly framed rooftop, a graceful church spire, a green park below - that feels more Paris or Rome than Porter Square. But this light-filled 2-bedroom, 2-bath home is right here in one of Cambridges most convenient and connected neighborhoods. Set back from Massachusetts Avenue in a luxury elevator building completed in 2021, 7 Beech Street, unit 410, offers a rare sense of calm in the heart of the city. Inside, tall windows, screened French doors, high ceilings, and an open layout create a space thats airy and welcoming. Outside, your own private west-facing patio offers sweeping views and stunning sunsets. Garage parking is accessed by elevator, and shops, restaurants, and transit are just moments away. In the short time since the building opened, a genuine sense of community has taken root - neighbors gathering and friendships forming. This is urban living at its most graceful: convenient, effortless, and entirely yours.
