Upon entering 11 Longfellow Road, every room reveals something new—each space unfolding like a secret waiting to be discovered. Originally a two-family, now a spacious, light-filled, well-kept single-family home that somehow keeps stretching in all the right ways. The 1st floor bedroom with ensuite bath—perfect for guest/au pair. The dining room, with built-ins that hold more than dishes & the French doors lead to a deck shaded by a trellis that feels like an escape. Mornings can start slowly in the eat-in kitchen, with room to linger. The basement is a wellness haven, with workout area, sauna & full bath. Enjoy evenings in the soaring family room, with a fire. Upstairs, a reading nook in the 3rd-floor library. The primary suite on the 2nd floor, with walk-in closet, ensuite bath & Juliet balcony, overlooks the backyard, patio, & 2-car garage. Surrounded by gardens, the house doesn’t just shelter—it surprises, comforts, & makes you feel truly at home. Seller welcomes buyer concessions.

Local insights from Redfin agents
Despite new zoning laws encouraging housing production, Cambridge remains a Seller's market driven by pent-up demand and a constant influx of buyers. Because it is a historic, built-out city, there is little new housing to replace existing...
properties, & true supply growth is severely constrained.
