Property Description

 

Set amongst the stately residences of West Cambridge, this Tudor/Shingle style home, built around 1895, is the perfect marriage of timeless architectural character & modern sophistication. Completely renovated, while keeping intact the original details, like grand wooden entry door, floor to ceiling windows & awe-inspiring millwork, this pristine home offers approximately 9,594 SF of elegant living space set across 4 floors. A pristine chef’s kitchen with island seating & casual dining area provide great space for family gatherings, while the grand, open formal living/dining/foyer area is perfect for entertaining. A comfortable family room and separate den flow effortlessly to the outdoors and connect to a double mudroom with abundant storage. The upper levels host 5 bedrooms, all with ensuite bathrooms. The lower level, with exterior access, finishes off the home, complete with billiard area and new wet bar, playroom, media room, gym, and sauna. Other features include: 9' ceilings; hardwood floors and detailed tiled flooring; 8 fireplaces; geothermal heat and much more. Enjoy private outdoor space with fenced-in yard, sport court, outdoor kitchen, and covered porch overlooking the lush backyard. A separate, heated and oversized 2 car garage with driveway provides ample parking. Situated on a rare 0.41-acre corner lot in a highly sought-after tree-lined neighborhood, it's just moments from Harvard Square and Charles River. A timeless beauty in its own private setting, yet still close to the bustle of the city and all it has to offer, this property has it all!
