Set back from the street just minutes from Harvard Yard, this expansive brick row house offers an exceptional opportunity to create a spacious home in a prime Cambridge location. High 9'–9" ceilings anchor an inviting main level, featuring a bright living room centered on a cozy fireplace and framed by a front window bay. A dramatic floor-to-ceiling, south-facing window fills the dining area with rich natural light. Nearby, a comfortable kitchen features a picture window that overlooks a private, enclosed patio garden. The second level hosts a full primary suite along with a second bedroom and additional full bath. Three more sun-drenched bedrooms and a third full bath occupy the top floor. Below, a large, high-ceilinged unfinished lower level offers endless possibilities for customization. A rare combination of classic architectural character, abundant natural light, and unbeatable proximity to Harvard Square.

ADU Potential

Massachusetts allows one accessory dwelling unit by right in single-family zoning districts statewide (M.G.L. c. 40A §3; 760 CMR 71.00, effective Feb 2025). Estimated maximum ADU size for this property: 900 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 2,398 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 1,967 sq ft.

Based on listing data, which indicates the property type — not the zoning district. Local dimensional, septic (Title 5), and historic-district requirements still apply. Not legal advice — verify with the municipality.
