Description
Beautifully appointed second-floor residence at Longview, a historic Cambridge cooperative overlooking the Charles River just blocks from Harvard Square. An expansive entry hall introduces unusually generous formal living and dining rooms that provide an inviting setting for gathering and entertaining. The river-facing living room features a fireplace framed by built-in cabinetry, while high ceilings, crown molding, and other carefully preserved period details lend character throughout. Fully renovated in 2024, the kitchen features custom quarter-sawn oak cabinetry, matte black quartz countertops, task lighting, illuminated glass-front cabinets, and all-new Bosch appliances, including an induction range. Crema Lyon limestone flooring with green marble detailing completes the space. One of the two bathrooms was also renovated in 2024, and new Pella Reserve windows were installed throughout the home that year. The primary bedroom enjoys views of the Charles, while the second bedroom overlooks Longview's peaceful garden. A private parking space is available. Just outside the building, Riverbend Park and JFK Memorial Park offer immediate access to the riverfront and surrounding green space. Longview is known for its strong sense of community, fostered through garden parties and monthly gatherings in residents' homes. This well-maintained, 100% owner-occupied elevator building offers an exercise room, private storage, a live-in superintendent, and laundry facilities. Monthly fees include heat and real estate taxes.
