Cambridge, MA 02138
Description
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.
