Set back from the street just minutes from Harvard Yard, this expansive brick row house offers an exceptional opportunity to create a spacious home in a prime Cambridge location. High 9'–9" ceilings anchor an inviting main level, featuring a bright living room centered on a cozy fireplace and framed by a front window bay. A dramatic floor-to-ceiling, south-facing window fills the dining area with rich natural light. Nearby, a comfortable kitchen features a picture window that overlooks a private, enclosed patio garden. The second level hosts a full primary suite along with a second bedroom and additional full bath. Three more sun-drenched bedrooms and a third full bath occupy the top floor. Below, a large, high-ceilinged unfinished lower level offers endless possibilities for customization. A rare combination of classic architectural character, abundant natural light, and unbeatable proximity to Harvard Square.
