About This Home

As of September 2014

This light-filled single-family residence is located on a very desirable tree-lined west Cambridge side street, just minutes from Huron Village and close to Fresh Pond's jogging and walking paths. The house benefits from east exposure on the front in the morning, southern exposure all day on the long facade, and afternoon and evening western exposure on the garden. The property has a yard that is large by Cambridge standards. The front porch opens onto the foyer, and to the left, to a living room with a bay window and hook-ups for a wood-burning stove. These open and airy rooms have good-height ceilings and are delightful for entertaining. The dining room is nearly 17' wide, and it is entirely open to the kitchen; glass doors lead to the deck, and a glass door off the kitchen opens to the garden. A separate study completes this level. At the second level, there are three nicely proportioned bedrooms and there is a full bath. The master suite comprises the entire third floor. Central AC
