    What's special

    Located on one of Cambridge’s most coveted streets close by Harvard Square, this remarkable residence, built circa 1863, exudes historic charm and timeless elegance. Surrounded by ample gardens, the property boasts 7 bedrooms and a unique wood-paneled library. An elevator connects all four levels. A majestic hallway and main staircase set the tone, while custom built-ins add warmth. Oversized windows flood the home with natural light, showcasing serene views. The generous-sized kitchen features ample storage and two pantries. A stately formal dining room would seem of a different era. A mother-in-law ground-floor apartment with soaring ceilings is ideal for guests, staff, or rental. A long driveway and one-car garage accommodate multiple vehicles. This extraordinary property combines architectural significance, versatility, and a premier location. It offers a rare opportunity to own a home in one of Cambridge’s most exclusive neighborhoods.
