About This Home
As of April 2024Finally, a Neighborhood 9 single family home! This classic 1890 home was renovated from stem to stern in 2016 by Boardman + Co, blending period architectural detail on the exterior with modern living inside. Located one block from leafy Raymond Park, a neighborhood gem where free-range kids play, neighbors catch up, and the community gathers for summer movie nights and ever-popular Cambridge Family Microsoccer. The handsome interior of this home offers over 3,200 SF of living space, with 5 beds and 4.5 baths, including a guest suite or home office with separate entrance. The backyard is an urban oasis, with a bluestone patio and fenced yard. Parking for 3 cars, and two EV chargers! Within blocks, neighborhood delights abound: Hi-Rise Bakery, Formaggio, 50-acre Danehy Park, four playgrounds, two corner markets, the verdant paths around Fresh Pond, and the best pizza in Cambridge. Just 0.5 mi. to Porter Square (Red Line), less than 1 mi. to Harvard Square, Whole Foods and Trader Joe's.
