Classic architecture meets modern living with this beautifully restored Mansard home. Tall ceilings, bay windows, and a sweeping staircase set an elegant tone, while a thoughtful layout offers both openness and privacy. With 4 bedrooms, plus a bonus room and 2½ baths, it's designed for stylish yet comfortable everyday life. The handsome new kitchen impresses with tall gray cabinetry, marble-veined quartz counters, and KitchenAid and Bosch appliances. Open to the expansive dining room, this space is perfect for entertaining. A front garden and rear deck add just the right amount of outdoor space. The primary suite features a skylight, an attached dressing room, and a serene ensuite bath. Conveniences include a laundry room and mini-split cooling upstairs, while the driveway with carport accommodates 4 cars. Ideally located near Porter Square and Mass Ave, the redline T station, Danehy park, and a multitude of nearby Cambridge restaurants, shops and amenities.
