About This Home
A rare opportunity to own a Grand Victorian in a prime mid-Cambridge location offering exceptional income potential. The beautifully restored main residence blends historic elements with updated designer finishes. Highlights include an elegant foyer, fireplaced living room, and a renovated kitchen with island seating that opens into the dining area with inlay floors and diamond-pattern windows. The upper two floors offer six flexible rooms, including four ensuite bedrooms and laundry. A fully equipped and furnished lower-level in-law suite with interior and exterior access adds further flexibility, while a fenced yard provides private outdoor space. The main residence itself is delivered unfurnished, offering a blank canvas for its next owner. The attached Carriage House features two furnished loft-style apartments, plus two additional furnished in-law units—bringing the total to 10+ bedrooms and 9.5 bathrooms all with storage and ample natural light. Paved driveway for three cars!
