I am truly in love with my new East Cambridge listing. First, because you know I love the neighborhood, and second, because this is one of the most charming, impeccably designed homes I have ever had to pleasure of spending time in. Come visit me at one of the open houses to see for yourself — Saturday & Sunday, 11:30 am – 1 pm!

A little bit of Beacon Hill in the heart of East Cambridge! This gorgeous duplex unit in a charming 19th century brick rowhouse is a rare find in the Cambridge market.
