Elegant, turn-of-the century 3 BR/1 BA townhome with over 9’ high ceilings and a rooftop deck in the heart of Inman square. Tucked just off Cambridge Street, this urban oasis will charm you with its period details, tall windows, high ceilings and generous light-flooded first floor living areas. The beautiful living room with bay-windows capturing morning sunlight leads to a spacious dining room that opens onto the kitchen. A bedroom – or den/ home office - with exterior access to a mini courtyard is snugged towards the back of the house. Upstairs, find 2 generous bedrooms - one with custom built closets, a vintage bathroom with tub and wooden vanity, and a private rooftop deck sheltered from the wind. The unfinished 675 sf basement, used as a workshop laundry and mechanical, offers potential for expansion. This rowhouse is located at a dream location steps to vibrant shops and restaurants, and just a quick stroll, half a mile, to Union square T station and top dining. On street parking
