    What's special

    In the heart of Cambridgeport sits this 1839 Hovey-Markham designed Cottage, a prime example of the Greek Revival style and emblematic of the early growth of the neighborhood. Purchased in 1992 by a master builder as his own home, it was gut-renovated, with careful attention to retain character and add only details befitting the pragmatic nature of the Greek Revival style. 44 Cottage Street greets visitors with a classic temple front porch with Doric columns, operable shutters and well-researched historic colors. The home was expanded in 1995 to include a 2-story 1-bedroom apartment in rear with private roof deck. With clever landscape design, the current owners have enjoyed an expansive fenced yard with extensive plantings, a wisteria-clad arbor and storage sheds adjacent to a 2-car stone & brick driveway. This outstanding home combines the grace & character of a historic Cambridge structure, with the comfort, style and quality of a beautifully crafted home for today's lifestyle.

    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.
