Listing broker remarks

Rare opportunity in sought-after Mid-Cambridge to own a distinguished Second Empire Mansard-style brick residence on a prominent corner lot. Rich in period character, the property showcases soaring ceilings, marble fireplaces, exposed brick, crown moldings, ceiling medallions, hardwood floors, oversized bay windows, and skylights, while southern exposure fills the interiors with abundant natural light. Currently configured as multiple units, the flexible layout presents a compelling opportunity for an end-user to bring this remarkable home back to its original stature as a grand single-family residence, while potentially retaining supplemental income opportunities. Every level has been thoughtfully configured to maximize usable square footage and functionality, offering a range of possibilities for future use. A spacious deck—a rare amenity in this part of Cambridge—extends the living space outdoors. Ideally located near Harvard, biotech corridor, and Central/Inman Sq.— Compass
