About this home

**Attention Developers and Owner-Occupants! **An exceptional opportunity to preserve, personalize, or reimagine a piece of Cambridge.** Dating to the early 1870s and held by only two owners in approximately 150 years, 27 Hollis Street is a remarkably preserved North Cambridge single-family residence offering original architectural character and an unusually generous 5,010 square-foot lot. Whether you're an owner-occupant looking to renovate and personalize a historic home or a developer seeking to explore expansion or redevelopment possibilities, this property presents a compelling opportunity. Step through the front foyer and appreciate the home's original craftsmanship, including a beautiful curved staircase and railing, high ceilings, maple hardwood floors throughout, and a striking handcrafted built-in dining room cabinet. Outside, the expansive and exceptionally private grounds offer a peaceful retreat rarely found in Cambridge. A brick patio provides an inviting setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, while mature trees and established perennial gardens create a lush, picturesque setting throughout the seasons.Situated on a tree-lined North Cambridge street with convenient access to public transportation, parks, shops, restaurants, and the amenities of Cambridge and Somerville, the property combines historic charm, substantial outdoor space, and exciting possibilities for its next chapter. A preliminary zoning study outlining potential development opportunities is available for review. Buyers and developers to conduct their own due diligence regarding zoning, permitting, and feasibility.
