About this home

Set on one of Cambridge's most admired residential streets - wide, tree-canopied and lined with magnificent Victorian and Second Empire residences-, this well-maintained c.1880 attached single-family home, elevated above the street, is brimming with period character, soaring 9-foot ceilings, generously propertioned rooms, abundant natural light and a classic floor plan designed for comfortable living and gracious entertaining. A large deck overlooks a tapestry of towering trees and verdant gardens, creating a private retreat accompanied by birdsong and seasonal beauty. The second floor offers four bedrooms and a full bath, including the potential to create a luxurious primary suite. The top level provides another bedroom with ensuite bath and flex space for guests, work, or retreat. Untapped LL potential. A rare chance to become the steward of a home in an iconic setting, premium address, moments from Porter & Harvard Squares, acclaimed restaurants, shops, universities and the Red line
