New To The Market – Condos in Cambridge and Somerville

It’s that time of year – lots of new inventory and a loooong tour on Wednesday when we see the new listings that the Cambridge Coldwell Banker offices are bringing on the market.

I try to post this on Wednesday but since two of the 15 properties we saw on tour were my own listings I’ve been busy writing ads, designing feature sheets, taking photographs, and, happily – booking appointments.  There’s a lot of activity in the market right now – spring is here!

Harvard Square Two-Bedroom Condo

This condo is a charmer!  It’s in a handsome turn-of-the-century building just a hop, skip and a jump from Mass Ave and Harvard Square, and Central Square just down the street.  The condo is on the back side of the building and there’s a good sized backyard. Walk out the front door and you’re in the middle of everything that makes Cambridge such a fun place to live – cafes, pubs, restaurants, libraries, bookstores, and more.  While you’ve got all your public transportation needs covered – take your pick  and walk to the T stop in Harvard Square or Central Square or hop on the bus that runs down Mass Ave – you’ve also got a parking space – a coveted amenity in mid-Cambridge. 

The condo is a wonderful combination of original details like hardwood floors and high ceilings and modern updates.  The bath has undergone a stylish renovation and the stainless steel fridge and gas range in the kitchen are new. The master bedroom is generously sized and holds a king-sized bed – a real bonus in a city condo – and has a walk-in closet.  The second bedroom has two closets, there’s a coat closet in the hall, and additional storage in the basement.

I’m delighted that the weather forecast sounds promising for Sunday.  There’s an open house scheduled for 11:30 to 1 pm on the 15th and I plan to open the kitchen door to the deck and let the breezes in.  Hope to see you there.

15 Trowbridge Street Unit 7, Cambridge, MA 02138 is priced at $419,000. 

Somerville Two-Bedroom Two-Bath Condo

This spacious Somerville two-bedroom condo has all the amenities on your wish list – central air conditioning, two baths, two car parking, in-unit laundry and an updated kitchen.  On the top floor of a six-unit mansard on a street lined with historic homes, the building has been thoroughly upgraded and has a contemporary feel inside.  And with the T station just a five minute walk  away and easy access to major highways and to Boston, the location is ideal for commuting.

You can spread out in this condo – the entertaining spaces are open and the master bedroom is large with its own bath  and sliders to a small deck. There’s a second bedroom and a separate office.   The kitchen has new counters, updated cabinets, and stainless steel appliances, and a pantry closet.  Your guests can sit at the counter bar while you’re preparing dinner.  There’s also extra storage in the basement.

Set on a side street just one block from the bustle of Broadway, you can stroll to neighborhood restaurants and stores.  The new Stop and Shop and a variety of award winning restaurants are nearby.  The new development at Assembly Square, set to include an Ikea, is  also close by.

14 Arlington Street Unit 3, Somerville, MA is priced at $299,000 and will be open on Sunday, March 15 from 2 to 3:30.  I look forward to seeing you there!
