Mid-Cambridge is home to this exceptional townhouse, where the familiar exterior belies a design that redefines modern living with warmth, flow, and meticulous craftsmanship. The aesthete will be drawn to the curated mix of materials and thoughtful lighting, the refined warmth of natural wood and marble, the understated elegance of a three-sided fireplace that subtly connects the dining and living spaces. The primary suite—set at the rear of the home—is a calm retreat with custom millwork, an integrated work space, and a beautifully detailed bath. The pragmatist will appreciate the highly functional layout—featuring a beautifully designed foyer and mudroom area, a flexible family room with a Murphy bed, a proper laundry room, three balconies, and a huge unfinished attic. A garage with EV charging and additional parking completes this distinctive home—a rare find, tucked away on one of Cambridge’s most coveted streets, yet close to Harvard, MIT, and the best of Cambridge.
