52 Gdn St

A one-story, brick Harlow-style condominium building constructed in 1924 and restored with sensitive updates, this intimate property presents classic early-20th-century details paired with practical modern systems. The exterior is defined by professional landscaping, a planted front courtyard and a rear garden/patio area used for resident barbecues and summer relaxation; decorative lighting, a fenced yard and sprinklers support low-maintenance grounds. Individual residences are configured as three-bedroom layouts or flexible one- and two-bedroom units with studies, featuring high ceilings, original hardwood floors, crown moldings, fireplaces, tall windows and French doors on select units. Common elements include an elevator, an entrance foyer and hallways with archways, a shared library/den or study areas, coin-operated laundry and basement storage as well as secured bicycle racks. Units commonly offer walk-in closets, ample built-in storage and sun rooms or balconies. On-site services are limited to professional management; condo fees typically cover heat and hot water. The building allows pets with board approval and provides resident conveniences like exterior rain gutters, screens, and updated kitchen and bath components from periodic renovations. Located steps from Harvard and Porter Squares with Red Line access, the property sits in a walkable, amenity-rich Cambridge neighborhood near cafes, shops and top-rated schools.
