Property Description

Welcome to The Port. High among the trees in one of Cambridge’s coolest pockets, this three-bedroom, top-floor condo doesn’t just sit pretty — it lives. Sunlight floods through walls of glass while the city hums below, giving the whole place an easy, unfiltered vibe. The open layout moves like conversation — a gas fireplace flickers, laughter bounces off high ceilings, and music spills from the kitchen. Granite counters, custom cabinets, stainless steel, and a gas range anchor an island built for food, friends, and a little chaos. The primary suite brings the calm — soaking tub, glass shower, and a walk-in closet ready for anything. One of the other two bedrooms, bathed in warm ochre light, makes a perfect studio or think space. Two fireplaces, central air, in-unit laundry — the good stuff. Expansive, single-level living like this is rare in Cambridge. Add low HOA fees and a short stroll to Kendall and Central Squares, and you’ve got treetop peace with street-level swagger!
