Charming Cambridge 2-BR townhome steps to MIT, Harvard, T Red Line, food & more!

- Up just 1.5 steps from the driveway
- Flexible second bedroom and/or sitting room with workspace
- Bathroom with shower
- Direct access, through the sitting/bedroom and down one step, to the private and fenced-in yard.
