Neighborhood Nine NeighborhoodAbout This Home
As of April 2024This crisp renovation of a classic 1890 Cambridge home blends period architectural detail on the exterior with modern living spaces inside. Located between Porter Square & Huron Village, and only one block from leafy Raymond Park, a neighborhood gem with a large playground and playing fields. Within 1/2 mile you'll find Hi-Rise Bakery, Formaggio, four playgrounds, two neighborhood markets, & the best pizza in Cambridge (according to many local 12 year olds). Enjoy summer movie nights at Raymond Park & the always popular Cambridge Family Microsoccer. Excellent proximity schools are Graham & Parks and Peabody. With 4-5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths, including a guest suite or home office with separate entrance, the bright and airy interior offers over 3,000 square feet with plenty of flexibility. The rear of the home is a tucked away urban oasis, with a gorgeous patio, grassy yard and privacy landscaping. Private driveway with parking for 2-3 cars. Close to Porter Square and the MBTA Red Line.
