Property Description
West Cambridge. A 1932 Colonial set behind a white picket fence and a front garden, directly across from Danehy Park - with a two-car driveway, which in Cambridge is its own headline. Inside the door, a proper mudroom does the New England work of keeping dirt, snow and everything else where it belongs. The main level is the heart of this home: living and family rooms joined by wide cased openings, and a kitchen that looks straight out to the green back yard while staying connected to the room where everyone ends up. Granite counters, induction range, peninsula seating, French doors to the deck. A bright front room with a full wall of built-ins works as office, studio, playroom, or a place to relax. Half bath completes the floor. Upstairs, three bedrooms: the primary with double closets and an en-suite walk-in shower under a skylight; a hall bath with black-and-white mosaic tile, subway surround and pedestal sink; a third bedroom tucked beneath the eaves with built-in shelving. Then there is the expansive fenced-in back yard. The deck steps down to a bluestone patio ringed in cobblestone, and beyond it the ground is open and waiting: room for a garden, a long table, a lawn, for whatever comes next. Below, nearly 600 square feet of unfinished basement handles laundry, utilities, and the kind of storage Cambridge rarely offers. Fully electrified - cold-climate heat pumps throughout, heat pump water heater, induction range, EV charging - with generator backup. Deleaded, weatherized. Nearby: Huron Village, Fresh Pond, Porter Square and Harvard/Radcliffe.
