About this home
Gorgeous single family in the heart of Cambridge! This charming 19th-century Italianate home has retained many of its original details – high ceilings, crown moldings, marble mantle, black walnut banister, painted hemlock floors – while being lovingly renovated and maintained over time. With seven rooms on three levels, there is great flexibility to create just the right layout to meet your needs and make the space your own. Beautiful gardens wrap around the exterior and the rear fenced courtyard is perfect for pups, grilling with friends or just enjoying your morning coffee. If you're looking for the vibrance and convenience of urban living, you will love 232 Broadway's prime location between Central, Kendall and Inman, with MIT, Harvard, the Charles River, MGH and Union Square all in close proximity.
