Property Description

Cambridgeport - This light-filled c.1873 historic single family home sits on a picturesque and sunny corner lot with a large tree-filled yard with spring flowers, shrubs, a noteworthy old-growth Chinese Elm tree and a detached garage/shop, accessible from Jay Street. This enchanting Victorian house retains the character of its era with an original staircase, a bay-windowed front living room and a dining room with a classic covered porch. Reimagined in the late nineties, the delightful 2-story family room in the back surprises you with skylights, gas fireplace, 3-glass door to a platform deck and a cheerful handcrafted kitchen with an old-style pantry. The 2nd floor has 2 bed, 1 w-i-c, 1 large 4-piece bath, and the gut rehab 3rd floor under vaulted ceilings adds a 3rd bedroom with skylights. This loved house with solar panels, waterproofed basement, newer windows, and updated systems awaits your input to make it yours. Walk to Central, Kendall, Harvard squares and the Charles River.
