All the perks in a fantastic Riverside location equidistant to Harvard, MIT and HBS! This move-in ready second floor unit features an open layout living/dining/kitchen with separated bedrooms - a rear-facing primary with en suite bath, and a large second bedroom with bay window at the front, adjacent to a spacious home office. Add to that in-unit laundry, modern upgrades like mini-split heat pumps with a/c and a tankless HW heater (new this year), a large common patio and ample basement storage - all in a well-run, pet-friendly association. Howard is a tree-lined residential side street between Central Square and the Charles River, abutting a neighborhood park, less than a half mile to the Red Line and even closer to the bus stops on Western Av and River St. Enjoy the conveniences of city living with easy access to cafes, restaurants, shopping (Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, HMart) and entertainment venues.
