56 Western Ave #2

Across the street from Cronin Park, this Victorian rowhouse affords an open concept with exposed brick, skylights, and cathedral ceilings. Built in 1874 and lovingly maintained, the 2-bd, 2-ba abode features a central living area with a wood-burning stove that merges living, dining, and kitchen. Anchored in oak, the main level offers an office nook with built-ins and a window overlooking Cronin Park. In the living room, a bay window welcomes light, setting the stage for movie nights with a pull-down screen, projector, and surround sound. Poised for dinner parties, a quaint kitchen decked in Talavera tile is appointed with butcher block counters and a peninsula. Beyond the kitchen, a side door beckons guests outwards to a south-facing deck. At the upper level, a carpeted living area includes a primary bed and ensuite bath w/double vanity, skylights, and washer/dryer. A pet-friendly building w/ 1 parking space, this Cambridge gem is near Harvard, Whole Foods, the T line, plus Mass Ave’s shops and eateries!
