Cambridgeport - An exceptional 1886 Greek Revival corner row house where historic character meets highly considered, architect-led design, lovingly cared and maintained for decades. Original stairs and antique pine floors set the tone for a home completely renovated by awarded Cambridge owner-architect with extraordinary attention to craft, material and detail. At its heart, a bespoke kitchen channels the warmth of an English country house, with custom cabinetry and shelving, integrated counter-height refrigeration, built-in banquette and distinctive lighting—an inviting place to gather, cook and linger, naturally connected to the garden beyond. Four bedrooms and beautifully conceived baths feature floor-to-ceiling tile, custom vanities, stone and elevated fixtures. Throughout, layered lighting creates warmth and atmosphere, while the home's east-west orientation brings changing natural light through the day and seasons. In back, mature River Birches form a leafy canopy over the private garden and patio, an unexpected urban sanctuary. The lower-level, separate-entry studio is charming and fully appointed—ideal as a guest or au pair suite, pied-à-terre, home office or independent living space. The attic presents an opportunity for expansion if needed. A singular Cambridgeport home: historic yet fresh, sophisticated yet wonderfully livable, in one of Cambridge's most beloved and walkable neighborhoods.
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 1,860 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 9,999 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.
Estimates — not financial advice
These figures are illustrative estimates for informational purposes only — not an appraisal, valuation, or guarantee of rent, income, or returns, and not financial, tax, or investment advice. Rent is either the figure reported on the MLS listing — in-place rent that may differ from market and is not verified against the actual leases — or, where the listing reports none, an estimate from HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents, a government benchmark that may differ from actual market rent. Each figure is labelled with its source. Cap rate, NOI, and returns depend on the assumptions shown, which you can change. MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date. Verify all figures independently and consult your own financial, tax, and legal advisors before making any investment decision.
