252 Pearl Street is a 4-bedroom, 4-bath freestanding home in the most prime stretch of Cambridgeport. The property was constructed in 2016 by an idealistic builder seeking to create a green, energy-efficient property. Set on the back of a two-unit lot, the home is surrounded by trees, offering visual privacy from the street and shielding from traffic noise. The house boasts 10-foot ceilings and large picture windows that look into a private backyard, providing abundant and year-round natural light. The backyard features a bluestone patio for grilling and relaxing, a lawn, and a HotSprings spa. Mature trees with accent lighting create a privacy barrier to neighboring properties for comfortable, late-night socializing.
