Light-filled living room at 14 Concord Unit 216.

14 Concord Unit 216  SOLD in 2011 -  I was the listing broker. It is  a one-bedroom condo located close to Harvard Square in a brick elevator building known as Continental Gardens. According to the online assessor’s database for the city of Cambridge, the 48-unit building was built in 1970.

14 Concord Unit 216 is located on the second floor, which is the front entry level of the building. Situated on the rear side, the residence is light-filled and has an open and inviting feeling. Highlights here include an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances and an intelligent floor plan. Measuring 628 square feet in size, this one-bedroom feels larger, given the eight-foot ceiling height and ample natural light from the larger windows found both in the main living room and big bedroom.

Charming updated kitchen at 14 Concord Unit 216.

There is also ample closet space throughout, a rarity in a one-bedroom of this size. In addition, there is a storage area on the lower level. The interior of 14 Concord Unit 216 is freshly painted and the circuit breaker panel for the unit is brand new (2011).

Heating and cooling units, replaced in the last several years, are found in both the living room and bedroom. Making this offering even more appealing, the seller is offering a credit at closing for the condo fee for Unit 216 for all remaining months of 2011. By now and save!

According to the management company for the building, 34 of the 48 units in the building are owner-occupied. There is an on-site super during the day on weekdays. Common laundry is found on the lower level.

The building has two addresses – 276 Harvard and 40 Inman. It is reported to be a non-smoking building.

The rounded bay windows are a distinguishing feature at this address, as is the very large common yard on Inman Street. Whenever I visit the building I am always struck by the yard. The building really has its own park!
