17 Otis

One First is a low-rise, full-service condominium complex completed in 2006 that clusters residences across a collection of connected addresses in East Cambridge. The development is composed of single-story buildings with two-bedroom floorplans common to many listings; units emphasize open living/dining layouts, soaring ceilings, oversized windows and hardwood cherry floors. Kitchens typically feature granite counters, cherry cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances while bathrooms often include marble finishes. Common exterior elements create a landscaped, inward-facing campus: a lush courtyard, roof deck with city views, patios and professionally maintained gardens. Shared amenities are oriented to daily convenience and community life — 24/7 concierge, fitness room, resident library, on-site management and deeded garage parking, plus in-unit washer/dryer hookups and private balconies or eastern/southern exposures in many units. The property sits in a transit-accessible Cambridge location near the Charles River, Lechmere/Green Line and Red Line connections, Kendall Square and the Museum of Science, positioning the complex for both urban access and riverside recreation.
