Restored carriage house offering the privacy of a single-family home in an exceptional setting on the North Cambridge/Davis Square line. Original character, thoughtful updates, and beautifully proportioned rooms create a home that feels serene, with Cambridge, Somerville, and Boston all within easy reach. The recently refreshed kitchen features quartz countertops, clean white cabinetry, gas cooking, and stainless steel appliances. It flows into an inviting living and dining area with hardwood floors, a fireplace, and beamed ceilings that celebrate the home's carriage house roots. Natural light fills the home, and central air provides year-round comfort. Single-level living includes three bedrooms with two generously sized bedrooms and a third ideal as a home office or guest room. The tiled full bath features a quartz-topped vanity, and the separate half bath includes in-unit laundry. Outside, the private fenced backyard is a rare find in this location, offering room to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy the outdoors. Two-car parking and a secure bicycle storage shed complete the property, with neighborhood restaurants and shops along Mass Ave and Davis Square, local parks, and MBTA public transportation all nearby. It's a home that's both private and connected | September Lease Start!
