About this home

Built in 1886, this renovated single family home is tucked away on a small side street in Riverside - close to the bustle of Harvard & Central Squares, and a stone’s throw to the Charles River. Period architectural details blend with modern interior living spaces to create an aesthetically beautiful home. The first floor has high ceilings and nicely detailed wood floors, a living room with an exposed brick accent wall, a spacious dining room, and a gorgeous cook's kitchen with KraftMaid cabinets. The lovely back patio brings the outside in - perfect for summer barbecues. A bedroom, a full bathroom & laundry complete the first floor. Upstairs are two well-proportioned bedrooms, a large walk-in closet, and a full bath. The full unfinished basement has a B-Dry perimeter drain system and offers good storage space. Wander a block to Memorial Drive and enjoy the sight of early morning rowers on the Charles and the sun breaking over the Weeks Footbridge. A very special Cambridge home!
