Not your typical lower-level condo. Set in a mid-century modern building with a striking spiral staircase at its heart, this freshly painted, move-in ready garden-level one bedroom in Cambridgeport is wrapped in windows, so it feels bright, airy, and larger than its footprint. The living room has room to relax or set up a work-from-home nook, and the separate bedroom sits off the main space for privacy and quiet. The kitchen is efficient and well laid out, with an electric range for anyone who likes to cook. Being surrounded by windows means real light and leafy views, and with air conditioning plus the naturally cooler feel of a garden level, summers here are easy. It is a quieter setting off the street, too.An assigned off-street parking space is included, a rare find this close to Central Square. Laundry is in the building and the association is pet friendly. The condo fee even covers water and hot water, keeping monthly costs down and making this a smart move for a first home, a pied-a-terre, or a well-located rental investment.And the location is hard to beat. Central Square and the Red Line are a short stroll away, with Kendall, MIT, Harvard Square, downtown Boston, and the Charles River all within easy reach.Light-filled, full of character, and a rare chance to own in one of Cambridge's most connected neighborhoods.
