With a (gasp!) two-car garage and stunning ceiling heights, this delightful mansard-roofed home is a unicorn - delivering unequaled central Cambridge living thanks to a large and welcoming front porch, a private landscaped and fenced rear yard, beautifully scaled entertaining spaces, and a finished lower level with play space and seemingly endless storage. There are four sunny bedrooms and two full bathrooms - all upstairs on the second floor - in addition to the two half baths on the first floor and lower level. Updated thoughtfully over the years without ever suffering a soul-crushing developer's gut job, the modern systems include efficient gas heating, hot water with recirculation, and air conditioning. It's fun and it's funky and it's imperfectly perfect.

No house is perfect, but the owners of 27 Inman Street have spent the past thirteen years transforming this one into an ideal home. This unique mid-Cambridge Victorian Mansard is elegant and stately; it has a spacious living and dining room with soaring ceilings and dramatic archway, bay windows, gracious foyer, handsome staircase and lovely wooden floors.

There are four bedrooms, including the Master with en-suite bathroom, on the second floor, fitted with custom California closets, as well as a second full bathroom. The finished lower level has ample room for an in-house gym, a family playroom or guest suite, and is fitted with a half-bath, separate laundry, copious closets including a walk-in cedar closet, and ample extra storage. Detached 2-car garage and two additional parking spaces. Minutes to Central Sq. & the Redline
