About this home

Tucked into one of Cambridge’s most coveted and storied enclaves, this beautifully maintained 6-bedroom, 3.5-bath single family home offers 3,282 square feet of gracious living in the historic Gray Gardens neighborhood. Thoughtfully maintained over the years while retaining its classic character, this home is ideal for tenants seeking space, privacy, and an exceptional address without sacrificing modern comfort. Inside, the generous main space flows easily for both everyday living and entertaining. Six well-proportioned bedrooms and three and a half baths provide flexibility to meet a variety of needs. Outside, the property’s standout feature is its gorgeous, mature gardens and unusually large yard for the area — a rare private outdoor retreat in the heart of Cambridge. Unbeatable location with access to Harvard Square and Porter Square, with Red Line, restaurants, shops and more.
