About This Home
As of August 2020On prestigious Brattle Street in the famed Old Cambridge Historic District, minutes from Harvard Square, this beautiful historic home sits right across from Lowell Park and next to the grounds of a substantial estate. Tastefully updated in keeping with its classic style, this single-family attached home opens to a private backyard terrace and flower garden. A side driveway parks 2 cars. Bathed in sunlight, the inviting bay-windowed living room features a fireplace. Wide entryways connect into the understatedly elegant dining room and custom kitchen with breakfast area, marble counters and Thermador gas range. The second floor’s sunny bay-windowed bedroom/family room has an office alcove adjacent. Having the third floor to itself, the extensive master suite brings added natural light through skylights in its office/library, airy cathedral-ceilinged bedroom, and dressing area off the bath. Served by its own full bath, the basement level has two rooms ideal for games or exercise.
