About This Home

As of September 2016

What do you get when you combine the visions of a 19th century brick mason and two 21st century designers? The splendid combination of craftsmanship and modern elegance found at 44 Walker St. This 1880 neighborhood treasure beautifully integrates its 130-year history, retaining the playfully detailed Victorian exterior and pairing it with a state of the art interior. A modern kitchen with custom white cabinets and cast concrete counters, a master suite with spa bathroom, and radiant heat throughout are just a few of the many notable details. The jewel in the crown is the detached carriage house located at the rear of the peaceful and private yard. The care and attention paid to the restoration of the main house is carried over into to this charming building. Opening onto a stone terrace, it offers a separate space for work or family, a full bathroom, and a stunning loft bathed in light from the clerestory above. Walker is a pretty, tree lined street with easy access to Harvard Square.
