Go toward the light
We’re headed over the Charles River to see what’s on show this weekend in Cambridge, and what we found was nothing short of ethereal.
If you’re looking to drop between $1M to $2.5M, these open houses have a certain air of heavenly loftiness, both in size and style.
Expect to find high-end finishes and an emphasis on natural lighting and open floor plans for visually appealing sight lines.
