About this home
Moments from vibrant Central Square, this rare corner townhouse offers a compelling blend of historic character and thoughtful architectural design. Built in 1872 and later reimagined by a prominent Cambridge architect as his own residences in the 80s, the property now contains two distinctive homes within a classic rowhouse setting. The garden and first floor residence offers two beds and one and a half bath with direct access to a charming private patio, creating a quiet outdoor retreat in the heart of the city. The upper residence spans the second & third floors with an open floor plan, two beds, 1.5 baths, and a private decks. Architectural details include exposed brick walls, dramatic two story spaces, and glass partitions that allow light to move freely through the interiors. Originally converted to condos in the 1980s, title consists of two separate units being sold together, with both units transferring at closing. Great opportunity for investor or owner occ.
