Surrounded by endless gardens and green space this expansive cape house sits on a vast 10,000+ square foot lot, perched above the first hole of Fresh Pond Golf Course overlooking Fresh Pond across from the acres worth of Grove Street Playground and Park, right on the Belmont line. The home has been meticulously maintained, updated and has lots of windows and sunlight, hardwood floors, a vaulted ceiling sunroom with radiant heated floors, two working fireplaces, a great floor plan, solar panels, two car parking with EV charger, a deck to soak up the view and endless options for bedrooms, office, workout and lounge or living space. This is a can't miss opportunity to live in one of the very best locations in Cambridge.
Strawberry Hill, located between Fresh Pond Reservation and Harvard Square, is a residential and academic Cambridge neighborhood with leafy side streets and a reservoir-edge walking loop. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Fresh Pond rotary at Concord Avenue and Alewife Brook Parkway, where runners, cyclists, and dog walkers circulate past trailheads and small everyday stops. Brick apartment blocks and classic triple-deckers mix with mid-century institutional buildings tied to nearby campuses. Fresh Pond Reservation sets the pace with water views, birdlife, and a wide path system. The Cambridge Public Library Collins Branch adds a quiet civic anchor. Sofra Bakery & Cafe and Formaggio Kitchen in nearby Huron Village serve as local pillars for coffee, bread, and specialty groceries.
