Property Description

When he stepped into 212 Third Street 31 years ago, it was very tired but it had something intangible: a soul. Layer after layer he revealed the heart and beauty of this Kendall Square gem. Today he is passing on a stunningly appointed brick row house with top of the line finishes and systems, a delicious kitchen and an enchanting fenced garden with patio. A beautiful primary suite was created on the top floor by adding a large, windowed dormer that brings in abundant natural light. Distinguishing the house is the way the original brick walls and wood beams blend with the gorgeous updated finishes. There is a gas insert in the original fireplace, two bedrooms and two bathrooms, an unfinished basement with Viessman heating system, plus mini split AC units to assure year-round comfort. Now that Kendall Square has risen up around him, he also passes on the opportunity for you to feel you are living in a European cottage while being adjacent to the technology mecca that is East Cambridge.
