About this home

Built in 1922 and designed by Putnam & Chandler this is Cambridge’s grandest Tudor Revival home. Perched on a terrace above the street and enveloped in lush greenery and fencing, the residence offers rare privacy on .31 acres of curated gardens. The landscape, reminiscent of a secluded European country estate, offers a combination of tranquility and proximity to Harvard Square. Every detail reflects masterful craftsmanship: wood and slate materials honed on-site, large Tudor style windows, and six fireplaces(one in the pool house). The grand kitchen has access to the enclosed heated pool/spa, grilling area, herb garden and patio and is a place of warmth for family and guests. Every bedroom offers its own unique character. The principal suite features a soaring ceiling, private sauna with shower and rest area and a spa inspired bathroom. The attached cottage, the large unfinished basement and zoning for two-family use provide opportunities for expanded living and innovative expansion.
