About this home

87 Wendell is a charming gambrel cottage on a quiet street in the desirable Agassiz/Baldwin neighborhood. With that classic Cambridge combination of historical character and modern flair, this single-family has a private yard with mature plantings and a sunny patio for outdoor dining. Inside, the focal point is a beautifully crafted contemporary kitchen with gorgeous blue tile backsplash, white oak cabinetry, and European appliances, adjacent to an open-plan dining room. A rear addition holds a flexible den/bedroom space, with sliders opening to the back yard. An open-riser staircase divides the kitchen from the cozy living room with an exposed brick chimney. The first floor also has a half bath. On the second floor are two good-sized bedrooms, one carpeted and the other with a cork floor, that share an updated full bathroom. The basement holds a gas-fired boiler and hot water heater and laundry equipment. A delightful home with thoughtful improvements and ready for your vision!
