On a gentle bend of the Charles, Unit 404 at 986 Memorial Drive lives where the river’s calm meets the hum of Harvard Square. From that setting, this classic Cambridge cooperative opens with an easy grace of its own, beginning with an inviting entry that leads you into front to back living & dining rooms with tall windows and extensive built ins. Two bedrooms and a bath are tucked into a private wing, creating a comfortable sense of separation. The seller, who has moved to be closer to family, thoughtfully updated the space by adding central air conditioning, renovating the main bathroom and adding a fresh coat of paint, leaving it feeling light and cheerful. In this elevator building, recent maintenance reflects attentive care behind the scenes. Looking out at the Charles offers a peaceful daily rhythm, while bookstores, cafes, restaurants, and the vibrancy of a world renowned university city are moments away. It is a place where nature and city, history and comfort, meet with ease.
