In a sea of sameness, it takes real courage to break the mold. That’s this Riverside home in a nutshell—bold, and unapologetically different—and it’s a creative blank canvas, freshly painted and ready for your style to shine! Inside, you’ll discover five spacious rooms spread across three levels. On the first floor, you’ll find a generous bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, along with a spacious living room featuring French doors that open to the patio. The second floor boasts vaulted ceilings, an open-concept living/dining/kitchen area, and a large bedroom with a charming south-facing balcony. The third floor offers endless possibilities! Use it as extra sleeping space, a playroom, or an office—the choice is yours! Located in the heart of Cambridge, Riverside is a vibrant, close-knit neighborhood with tree-lined streets, and top-tier accessibility. Near the Charles River, Harvard, Central, and the sought-after MLK Jr. School, it blends city access with a true sense of community.
