Meticulously renovated & rebuilt with the highest attention to detail, this masterpiece enters the market thoughtfully redesigned. This circa 1859 Italianate cottage won the Cambridge Historic Preservation award. The home is sited with a south-facing orientation overlooking the Charles River. The magazine-worthy eat-in kitchen showcases deVOL cabinetry, leathered marble countertops & backsplash, a 2' farm sink, 40" Ilve Italian gas range, double ovens and pendant lighting made from antique gas lamps. A tranquil primary suite provides a cathedral ceiling, skylights, and a spa-like en-suite bath with reclaimed ship lap walls, custom cabinetry, Italian Carrara marble sinks & tile, and a luxe shower with Waterworks fixtures. The walk-out lower level houses the family room, guest suite, and a fitness studio. Under 1/2 mile to Harvard Square plus many parks and schools. Extra features include heated floors in the lower level and a heated driveway
