Property Description

Nestled in Harvard Square, this historical studio is flooded with natural light and serene tree-top, courtyard views! The unit itself, not just the building, was the documented residence of Vladimir Nabokov during his tenure (1942-1948) as Research Fellow and Curator of Lepidoptera at Harvard. During his years living here, Nabokov stood at the intersection of literature, science, and scholarship. This unit remains linked to a remarkable period in twentieth-century literary and intellectual history. The elevator building is located on a one-way, picturesque residential side street. The renovated kitchen is thoughtfully planned for functionality, new stainless steel appliances, and a four-burner gas range. Additional features include a decorative fireplace, lots of convenient closets, and hardwood floors. An open-plan invites your ideas for multiple layouts! This professionally managed, nonsmoking building has handy common laundry facilities. Minutes away from the Red Line and Harvard.
