About This Home
As of June 2025Radcliffe neighborhood, at the foot of Avon Hill. Painted Victorians—the doyennes of Cambridge real estate—come in several genres: noble and imposing, classic and staid, bright and hippie, and big yet cozy. This spotless 1888 home distills the calmest aspects of all into one. Impeccably renovated and lightly lived in, it unites historic detail, contemporary finishes, ample storage, and expanses of light and space into a tranquil, compelling living space. A quiet, wood-paneled study and gracious living room with a wood fireplace lead into a wide, well-lit kitchen and dining room, surrounded by windows and lush greenery. Upstairs, a generous primary suite with a zen-like bath overlooks gardens and a bluestone patio. Four additional bedrooms, two full baths, and a roof deck with garden beds and treetop views nearly complete the picture. A finished lower level adds a family room, exercise studio, full bath, and workshop. Quick hop to Porter, Harvard, Red Line, or Radcliffe. 2-car parking!
