You will love having your breakfast as you gaze out the window at the green serenity of the Common and the open sky above. The bright, white, eat-in-kitchen has a gas stove, refrigerator and recent Bosch dishwasher. The bedroom is particularly spacious, with two closets; one is walk-in with a closet system. The lovely bathroom has been tastefully renovated with storage in the vanity and a linen closet nearby. Two flex rooms were created from the living room for use as a second bedroom or office. If you enjoy entertaining, return the living room to its full-size. Life at 50 Follen is convenient, with an elevator in each wing, a laundry room, and a live-in superintendent. The location is superb for the Law School, Harvard Yard and the T, plus all of the shops and restaurants along Mass. Ave. and in Harvard Square.
