Throughout most of these units, you will find elegant vinyl wood plank flooring that can easily be personalized with area rugs and the like.
- In-unit washer and dryer – Finally, all of the apartments in this East Cambridge development come with full-size Bosch washers and dryers. You won’t have to deal with the hassle of lugging dirty laundry down to another floor or, even worse, to a laundromat elsewhere in the neighborhood.
