About This Home

As of June 2019

This welcoming single-family home is on a side street near Buckingham Browne & Nichols Lower School and the Harvard College Observatory. A traditional living room with fireplace leads to a modern, open-plan layout of kitchen, dining room, and a striking architect-designed family room that overlooks a large back yard. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a bathroom, and an aerie-like master suite with private bath and walk-in closet. The lower level is partially finished, with a separate entrance leading to the two-car tandem driveway--perfect for a nanny apartment, guest room, or home office. Out back is a level yard with mature plantings and a brick patio beneath a stunning dawn redwood. A delightful, calm retreat from the bustle of Harvard Square, 7 Healey Street is city living at its best.
