    What's special

    Just a block from the Charles River and a few blocks from Harvard Square, this historically significant house was built before 1765 and moved from Brattle Street in 1908. Within 4341 square feet of living space there are six bedrooms, four bathrooms and six fireplaces. Each room has its own special character resulting in a rich and highly interesting impression. The attached two-story apartment, which is currently rented, has a living room, kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom but could be incorporated back into the main part of the house. A two-car garage is attached to the house. Close to Harvard University, this magnificent residence is a joy to see.

    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.
