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.
