CERTIFIED DELEADED
A rare offering, a historic standalone single-family house built in 1848 by Simon P. Clarke, tucked away on a leafy Mid-Cambridge street. Designed as a traditional 19th-century Cambridge Greek Revival style, restored with appropriate detailing over the years. Located just a few blocks from MIT! The main level features the bright living room with the original 19th-century marble fireplace. A large dining room with an attached library alcove overlooking the yard. The kitchen has a gas stove, dishwasher, and will soon have a new refrigerator. The second level features both bedrooms as well as a flex room, which would work great as an office/dressing room/kids' bedroom. Outside there is a gravel driveway for two cars. Large fenced, private yard with mature trees, bird bath. Vast amounts of basement/attic storage seal the deal! Leave your cars in the driveway, and experience everything wonderful that Cambridge has to offer, right at your doorstep!
