1 Aberdeen Way, Unit 221

Originally built in 1914 as a lumber factory building, this dramatic loft residence at 1 Aberdeen Way offers a rare blend of industrial character and everyday ease. Converted in 2005, the building's soaring ceilings, oversized windows and exposed brick walls speak to its past, while modern touches like a/c, bamboo floors and an efficient kitchen bring comfort to daily life. Positioned on the top level, the home is filled with beautiful natural light, including from a skylight above the second level bedroom. Overlooking the Greenway, the setting offers easy access to Fresh Pond, Mt. Auburn Cemetery, the Collins Branch Library, grocery stores and nearby Cambridge favorites like Sofra. Tucked along a dead-end street off Aberdeen Ave, with its lovely green median, the location feels both connected and surprisingly tucked away. An efficient open floor plan packs a punch, while parking, elevator access, professional management, pet-friendly and beautifully maintained landscaping add comfort and convenience.
