    On a quiet dead-end street in Cambridge's desirable Huron Village area, this sun-filled top-floor 2+ bedroom apartment offers exceptional space, light, high ceilings, charm and indoor outdoor flow. The home is at the top of a charming classic triple decker. It is also deleaded with pets negotiable. I have videos to share if you need and can do face time walk throughs. With 9.5-foot ceilings and windows in every room, the home feels bright and expansive throughout. A large living room and oversized dining room flow openly into one another, creating an ideal layout for entertaining or everyday living. The dining room features charming original built-in cabinetry, adding warmth and character. The eat-in kitchen features a full wall of sliders that open directly to the covered rear porch, creating a sun filled, seamless connection to outdoor space perfect for morning coffee, fresh air, or warm-weather meals. The kitchen is spacious, bright, and functional (pictured furniture stays with the unit unless you wish to move it). The primary bedroom is comfortably sized approx 11 x 10 with an attached walk in closet/office, while the second bedroom is smaller approx 11 x 9 with a small closet and door to front porch/garden planters. The primary bedroom walk-in closet is big enough to also function as a dedicated home office and adds valuable flexibility. A large foyer with built-in bench and storage provides an inviting entry and extra space rarely found in Cambridge apartments. NOTE: Accent wallpaper is PEEL & STICK, installed by previous tenant and may be removed if desired via communicating with and obtaining landlord approval. Enjoy two porches a covered rear porch ideal for everyday use and an open front porch that's great for sunshine and light gardening. Additional highlights include in-unit laundry in back hall accessible from both the kitchen and walk in closet/office, hardwood floors, deleaded certification, easy permit street parking, and cats or dogs allowed with strong references.
