About This Home

As of July 2023

West Cambridge. Renovated picture-perfect cottage, nestled into a secluded, leafy pocket just off Brattle Street. This totally charming single-family home is an uncommon find! Sited on a generous 5,000+ SF lot, the large fenced yard is ideal for gardening, letting the dogs run, and gathering with friends and family. Inside, a gracious foyer and mudroom give way to an open-concept living room and gorgeous custom kitchen, with a dining room to the side, creating distinct yet fluid spaces. The many windows bring the outdoors in, and the wide-plank reclaimed wood floors add warmth and sophistication to the home. Upstairs, the two bedrooms have vaulted ceilings with exposed wood beams, giving a sense of light and space. A full bathroom with a skylight is bright and clean. The lower level offers a home office with a separate entrance (perfect for a home practice) as well as a full bath and a side-by-side laundry area, while still leaving abundant storage space. 1 mile to Harvard Square!
