A Harvard Professor's Sanctuary

Sold For: $1,130,000

In these rooms, she reads and writes, preparing for today’s lecture or finishing a chapter in her latest book.  A professor at Harvard, she likes to sit by the window and look at the sky while she thinks. The kitchen, bigger and more elaborate than perhaps she needs, provides a distraction and a place to unwind while she makes meals for herself or dinner guests.  When those guests arrive they are always jealous. “Your floors” they say with delight, “and the height of your ceilings... how ever did you get so lucky as to find this place?”  She has loved every minute at 46 Highland Avenue #1, with its two bedrooms and 2 bathrooms; its finished lower level that has doubled as a guest room and a den; its sweet front porch on which she can sit and watch the world go by; and its mid-Cambridge location that allows her to walk to most everything she needs.  Now she delights in the idea of passing it on to another lucky person who will be drawn to its special qualities and turnkey condition, but she will miss it and all it has given her.
