38 Linnaean Unit: 8

At the intersection of charming and practical, this classic condo in a popular pre-war Cambridge building offers well-proportioned rooms and original details, like glass doorknobs throughout, a handsome brick fireplace and period mantelpiece. Double windows in the generously sized bedroom draw in dappled light and offer leafy views from the third floor vantage. The updated, eat-in kitchen features granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. Built-in glass-faced bookcases flank the fireplace in the living room, which opens off the kitchen. The tastefully tiled blue and white bath is tucked at the end of the long hallway, that is wide enough to smartly accommodate corridor shelving and storage. This professionally managed building has laundry and additional storage in the basement. On the south side of Avon Hill, located less than a mile from Harvard Sq and 1/2 mile to Porter, the location couldn't be more ideal for commuting or having access to the best Cambridge neighborhoods
