Graceful & elegant brick Colonial-style residence on a sought-after side street outside of Harvard Square. Situated at the end of the street abutting a lot of over an acre, the house feels incredibly private & serene. Lovely owner's unit with four levels of living space & a one-bedroom rental unit on the first floor w/private entrance. Gracious appointments, light-filled rooms, skylights, vaulted ceilings & charming details. Finished basement, landscaped backyard w/mahogany deck, & 2-car garage.
Cleaner and in better shape than expected. Shows well and well maintained. Some updates done, some still needed, but nothing that is seemingly urgent.Second floor layout is not too practical with lots of cool living space but limited private bedroom...
space. Second rental unit is a small but efficient 1 bed unit with fireplace and good layout for total space available.

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.
