This exceptional two-level residence offers a rare blend of scale, craftsmanship, and location designed for those seeking a truly elevated Cambridge living experience.
The home unfolds across two full floors, featuring four generously sized bedrooms and three beautifully finished marble bathrooms. Rich in architectural character, the residence showcases Arts and Crafts period woodwork, hardwood floors throughout, and Tiffany-style lighting that brings warmth and distinction to every space.
A thoughtfully designed kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and elegant cherry cabinetry, seamlessly connecting to a formal dining room ideal for refined entertaining. Two separate living rooms one on each level provide both comfort and flexibility, while a dedicated office/study offers a quiet, private workspace.
Natural light fills two enclosed sunrooms, creating serene extensions of the living space. Just off the primary bedroom, a newly constructed private deck offers a rare city retreat with tranquil views of surrounding pine trees.
The residence is fully furnished with modern, well-appointed pieces, including king- and queen-size beds and a formal dining set, allowing for a seamless move-in experience. A working fireplace anchors the main living area, enhancing the home's inviting atmosphere.
Comfort is uncompromised with a top-tier Trane central air system providing both heating and cooling, complemented by a whole-house humidifier and HEPA filtration system (installed in 2020). High-efficiency windows throughout further enhance year-round comfort and energy performance. An in-unit washer/dryer adds everyday convenience.
Originally renovated in 2006, with a new HVAC system installed in 2020 and further updates completed in 2024, the home reflects careful, ongoing stewardship.
Ideally located just a short walk to the Charles River and within easy reach of Harvard Square, the residence offers immediate access to shopping, dining, theaters, hospitals, and public transportation, including nearby bus lines and the Red Line.
Garage parking and Level 2 EV charging, along with additional driveway parking, are available for a reasonable additional cost.
A rare offering of space, character, and convenience in one of Cambridge's most desirable settings.
