What's special

Fenced yard

This is a home that compliments your lifestyle. You wake up, grab coffee, and decide how the day goes. Bike into Cambridge, head to Alewife, or go to Mass Ave or Capitol Square for dinner. Living in Kelwyn Manor keeps everything within reach without feeling busy. Inside, the house adapts to you. The kitchen opens to the dining area so cooking and gathering happen in the same space. A front to back living room with a fireplace gives you room to spread out, while the sunroom gives you options as a playroom, workout spot, or a quiet place to reset. Upstairs, the primary bedroom feels set apart with cathedral ceilings and a minisplit. Two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and laundry keep things practical. The lower level adds a finished room for movies, work, or extra space, plus storage. Outside, the fenced yard and patio make it easy to relax or host without leaving home.
