A large dining room with an attached library alcove overlooking the yard. The kitchen has a gas stove, dishwasher, and will soon have a new refrigerator. The second level features both bedrooms as well as a flex room, which would work great as an office/dressing room/kids' bedroom. Outside there is a gravel driveway for two cars. Large fenced, private yard with mature trees, bird bath. Vast amounts of basement/attic storage seal the deal! Leave your cars in the driveway, and experience everything wonderful that Cambridge has to offer, right at your doorstep!
