The second floor has three bedrooms, a renovated bath, living and dining opening through original French doors, a sunroom, and a walk-up attic above. The full basement runs the length of the house, partially finished, with laundry, workshop and a walkout to a level lawn, flagstone patio and storage shed, plus two off-street spaces on a paved drive. Separate entries and separate heating systems. Walk to the Mount Auburn Street bus into Harvard Square, minutes to Star Market, Arsenal Yards and the Charles River paths, quick to Route 2 and the Pike. Sold as-is. Live on one floor and rent the other, or take the whole building. Both units delivered vacant at closing, with the seller requesting some flexibility on the closing date.
