    What's special

    This gracious and sunny home is set on a small leafy street, around the corner from Formaggio Kitchen. In this idyllic slice of Huron Village, residents know the butcher, the baker, and the cheesemonger by name; free range kids rule the sidewalks and backyards; and a few minutes spent on the front stoop is the quickest way to catch up on the day's news. For years, the calm and dignified residential exterior of 38 Blakeslee has belied its double identity as both a gracious home for modern living and as the setting for a magical preschool for lucky Cambridge kids. A new owner will have the opportunity to customize this home to their own purposes, and with ample space, no compromises need to be made. Double home offices? A yoga or Peloton studio in the bright and airy sunroom? An expansive makerspace in the unfinished basement? You can have all of it. When the dog needs walking or legs need to run, Fresh Pond Reservation is just down the street with miles of verdant paths to explore.

    This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Zillow. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
