So excited to be listing this super cute cottage with my colleague Dino Confalone — as you can see, it is picture perfect, and located in one of my favorite Cambridge neighborhoods! Come visit me at one of the open houses — Saturday & Sunday, 12 – 1:30 pm!
145 Fifth Street — 2+ beds / 1 bath, 1084 SF

This move-in ready, circa-1854 cottage has everything you’re looking for — smart layout, spacious rooms, lots of windows providing great natural light, good ceiling height (including on second floor), a lovely south-facing garden area and amazing roof deck with pergola. Feels much larger than square footage! Additional perks include first floor laundry, a bonus room perfect for a study or home office, a large walk-in hall closet on the second floor (could convert to second bath) and plenty of storage in the basement and outdoor shed. All this in a great East Cambridge neighborhood with easy access to many shops, parks, restaurants, and coffee shops, plus MIT, the Red Line at Kendall AND the Green Line at Lechmere. Walkscore = 93 and Bikescore = 92.
