Ideally located on a picturesque, tree-lined street in one of Cambridge’s most desirable residential neighborhoods, this gracious first-floor home beautifully blends the character of a 1925 bungalow with thoughtful updates, a private landscaped garden, and coveted garage parking. Cedar-shingle siding, inviting front and rear porches, and a private entrance create an immediate sense of home. Inside, a welcoming reception hall leads to a light-filled living room overlooking the garden, highlighted by a charming period piano window. The adjoining dining room retains its original character with a classic chair rail, handsome triple window, and substantial built-in china cabinet. The updated eat-in kitchen features crisp white cabinetry, black granite countertops, and modern appliances, with direct access to the private rear porch and garden—perfect for morning coffee, al fresco dining, or entertaining. The spacious primary suite is privately tucked off the rear foyer and features an en suite bath, walk-in closet, and generous built-in storage. A second bedroom and full bath with tub and shower offer excellent flexibility for guests, family, or a home office. A true highlight is the exceptionally private, beautifully landscaped garden, surrounded by mature plantings and accessed via a charming herringbone-brick path leading to the garage. This peaceful outdoor retreat feels wonderfully removed from the city and is a rare amenity in such a convenient Cambridge location. Additional features include two full baths, private full-size laundry, generous basement storage, dedicated garage parking, front and rear porches, and abundant original architectural detail. A special opportunity to enjoy the best of Cambridge living—with period charm, modern comfort, private outdoor space, and easy everyday convenience.
Estimates — not financial advice
These figures are illustrative estimates for informational purposes only — not an appraisal, valuation, or guarantee of rent, income, or returns, and not financial, tax, or investment advice. Rent is either the figure reported on the MLS listing — in-place rent that may differ from market and is not verified against the actual leases — or, where the listing reports none, an estimate from HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents, a government benchmark that may differ from actual market rent. Each figure is labelled with its source. Cap rate, NOI, and returns depend on the assumptions shown, which you can change. MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date. Verify all figures independently and consult your own financial, tax, and legal advisors before making any investment decision.
