Property Description

Within the so-called “Magic Circle” for desirable residences in Cambridge, this unique, charming, and historic 3-bed/ 2.5 condo is tucked into a verdant pocket of tranquility. Originally built by the American poet Longfellow as the carriage house for one of his daughters, the house is adjacent to the Longfellow House and Garden (now a National Park property) and a brief walk from both Harvard Square and the Charles River. The connected but distinct living and dining areas offer access to a charming fenced garden with a private deck. An efficient kitchen with generous counter space, a powder room, and a laundry room complete the first floor. Upstairs, there is a primary suite with twin closets and a full bath, a second light-filled bedroom, a third bedroom well suited for a home office, and a second full bath. The attached garage with two tandem parking spots as well as driveway parking allow one to live a true urban lifestyle on bike or foot.
