Overview

Arguably the finest cottage in Cambridge, this fully renovated jewel box blends timeless charm with modern comfort. Set above the street, the main living level offers an inviting flow, including a comfortable front living room and a bespoke Boston Globe award–winning eat-in kitchen that opens through French doors to a private deck and beautifully landscaped back yard and garden with mature trees and plantings. The finished lower level, partially above grade, features the “Bermuda Room” with built-in desks and bookcases, and the “Paris Room,” an exceptional family room with custom built-ins and a large picture window. Upstairs are two generously sized bedrooms and a luxurious, impeccably finished full bath. Additional highlights of this home include premium quarter-sawn white oak floors; Back Bay plantation shutters; high-velocity A/C; irrigation and landscape lighting; a custom full-size shed for bicycles; and attic storage. A rare and truly special offering.
