10 Bowdoin Street, Unit 2, Cambridge MA 02138

Sold for $835,000

Having spent years improving her unit and knowing that her building is in tip top condition she is free to focus on other important questions. For example, when she leaves the building, should she turn left towards the shops & restaurants on Mass Ave or turn right towards the leafy streets of the Radcliffe neighborhood? With the eye & heart of an artist, she created a space with personality and flow, that is grounded in quality and care & that allows her to move seamlessly between her indoor spaces & her private outdoor porch. She has redone the kitchen & bathroom, replaced the windows, refurbished the floors & chosen beautiful paint colors. In addition, as an association, they have replaced the roof, updated the wiring and insulation the building. They are in the process of replacing their common boilers & water heaters. While located just outside Harvard Sq. and in the bosom of Harvard University, 10 Bowdoin #2 is a treasure which supports a rich and peaceful city life.
