About This Home
As of July 2015Stunning gut renovation of a Historic 19th century Victorian home located in Kendall Square. Encompassing over 1700 square feet, the home blends period detail with modern luxury and convenience. With three beds and two full baths, and a study which doubles as a guest room on the first floor, the layout is extremely flexible. The professionally landscaped yard complete with patio is an urban oasis with many species of trees (ash, cherry to name a few) as well as plants. The current owners updated electrical, plumbing, windows, and insulation when they purchased the home in 2002. In 2005, they enlisted Singlespeed Design to build a 350 square foot addition with a wall of windows as well as a skylight which creates an airy , open feeling connecting to the homes kitchen. The home is equipped with two zone central air, and a Navien tankless hot water system. Driveway parking for two cars. Walk to Kendall (redline) in minutes, as well as Beacon Hill in about twenty minutes.
