Rarely on market! This sunny basement apartment in a gorgeous Queen Anne historic home offers an affordable pied à terre in Cambridge. HEAT, HOT WATER, ELECTRICITY, GAS INCLUDED. One bed, one bath, cunning interior storage, large built-in bookshelves, gorgeous DR table, and small but attractive kitchen with new stove. Yes, it’s a basement unit, but it’s SUNNY with windows on all sides and with impeccably clean white curtains. Completely repainted and cleaned. The unit has its own pathway and entrance – all in a beautifully maintained yard that may remind you of Andrew Marvell’s poem “The Garden.” Near Mass. Ave. shops and restaurants. Between Harvard and Porter Squares. Landlady lives upstairs. Video available.
