First Floor

â—Ź Tucked away at the end of a long shared driveway, 3 Union Terrace is introduced by a charming courtyard setting that creates a sense of privacy and retreat. Enter through the front door where you’re greeted by the staircase and welcoming foyer. 

â—Ź  To the left, the living and dining areas create an inviting space for both everyday living and entertaining. Abundant natural light fills the living room, creating a warm and airy atmosphere. Beautiful hardwood floors run throughout the home, complemented by four-zone mini-split systems and hot water baseboard heating for efficient, year-round comfort. The combination of timeless Cambridge character and modern conveniences makes this a home that feels both classic and inviting.

â—Ź  Continue into the kitchen, which combines a practical layout with plenty of storage. A dedicated pantry, storage closet, and built-in bookshelves provide convenient space for kitchen essentials, cookbooks, and everyday items. The kitchen is outfitted with stainless steel appliances, including an LG five-burner gas range with double ovens (2022), GE Profile microwave with circulation vent, Whirlpool dishwasher (2019), and LG French-door refrigerator with a bottom freezer drawer (2022).

● Conveniently located off the kitchen, a full bathroom features a standing shower, sink, and toilet. There is an additional versatile bonus room off the kitchen as well that offers the flexibility to suit a variety of needs—use it as a breakfast dining area, home office, workshop, or creative space. Lastly, a door from the kitchen provides direct access to the grassy area at the rear of the property.

The ensuite bathroom features a walk-in shower and skylight, bringing natural light into the space while keeping the bathroom bright and inviting.


â—Ź The second bedroom is spacious and filled with natural light from the plentiful windows and skylight, offering plenty of flexibility for a variety of needs. A naturally carved-out alcove provides a versatile bonus space that could function as a dedicated home office, dressing area, or be converted into a generous walk-in closet.
