Finally, a Neighborhood 9 single family home! This classic 1890 home was renovated from stem to stern in 2016 by Boardman + Co, blending period architectural detail on the exterior with modern living inside.

The handsome interior of this home offers over 3,200 SF of living space, with 5 beds and 4.5 baths, including a guest suite or home office with separate entrance. The backyard is an urban oasis, with a bluestone patio and fenced yard. Parking for 3 cars, and two EV chargers! Within blocks, neighborhood delights abound: Hi-Rise Bakery, Formaggio, 50-acre Danehy Park, four playgrounds, two corner markets, the verdant paths around Fresh Pond, and the best pizza in Cambridge.
