Arguably the finest cottage in Cambridge, this fully renovated jewel box blends timeless charm with modern comfort. Set above the street, the main living level offers an inviting flow, including a comfortable front living room and a bespoke Boston Globe award–winning eat-in kitchen that opens through French doors to a private deck and beautifully landscaped back yard and garden with mature trees and plantings. The finished lower level, partially above grade, features the “Bermuda Room” with built-in desks and bookcases, and the “Paris Room,” an exceptional family room with custom built-ins and a large picture window. Upstairs are two generously sized bedrooms and a luxurious, impeccably finished full bath. Additional highlights of this home include premium quarter-sawn white oak floors; Back Bay plantation shutters; high-velocity A/C; irrigation and landscape lighting; a custom full-size shed for bicycles; and attic storage. A rare and truly special offering.
