    What's special

    This exquisite 11 room, 5 bed, 3.5 bath Greek Revival single family residence was built in 1841.It is part of the Mid Cambridge Conservation District, and has been extensively restored by its present owners to retain many of its period details while modernizing the systems to 21st century standards. Once home to 19th century Women's Rights advocate, Margaret Fuller, the property is an example of seamlessly melding past with present. Forced warm air heat & air conditioning, a wired sound system, security system, internet, & on-demand hot water are among the many modern amenities that, combined with historically accurate details, At the back of the house there is a family room with glass double door access to the fenced rear bluestone patio and rear & side gardens. Parking for 4 cars and an ideal Mid Cambridge location, close to all the restaurants and shops along Mass Ave. and easy access to Harvard and Central Squares, add to the impressive offerings of this rare jewel.
