About this home
A rarely available single-family style detached townhome set directly across from the Charles River. This East & West facing home is well positioned to capture ample natural light throughout the day. The private, sun-filled yard with thoughtful landscaping and a stone patio creates an unexpected retreat in the middle of Cambridge. On the main level, tall windows fill the living room with light and open to a dining area suited to quiet evenings and gatherings alike. The refined, updated kitchen pairs sleek countertops with stainless steel appliances and a separate pantry area. Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms and two baths include a generously-sized primary suite. The finished lower level, complete with a full bath, can easily be used as an office or playroom. One off-street parking space is included. Ideally located minutes to HBS, Harvard Square, and Central Square. Enjoy the privacy of a tucked away location while still having the convenience of everything Cambridge has to offer.

Enter an interest rate to calculate. Down payment and term are editable.
Results include principal and interest, plus property tax and HOA when MLS lists them; home and mortgage insurance and utilities are excluded. Tax uses the amount in this listing; a buyer’s actual tax may differ with reassessment or residential exemptions. The rate is your assumption, not a current market quote or loan offer.

What do these numbers mean?
DESE accountability percentiles (1–99) compare schools administering similar assessments, using up to two years of indicators. These are not test scores out of 100 or GreatSchools 1–10 ratings. Progress toward targets is a separate state measure. Consider programs, support services and your child’s needs as well.
School names link to available school or district websites.
