4-Bedroom, 3-story home with enormous yard near Fresh Pond

Handsome 19c townhouse with very spacious, peaceful backyard. Located in the Strawberry Hill neighborhood, near Fresh Pond, Star Market, and Mt. Auburn Street.

2,300 sq feet of living space on three levels with plenty of room for home offices and... bedrooms. Inviting front porch, foyer with original period stairs overlooking the large living room. Open floor plan adjoins the living room and combines kitchen, dining and family room that opens to private patio and unusually large backyard.

Kitchen has granite countertops, cherry cupboards and Viking gas range. Half bath on first floor.

Second floor includes two generously-sized bedrooms, a modern full bath with separate tub & shower, and a laundry room with walk-in closet.

The 3rd floor has one good-sized bedroom and a very large room that can be used as a master bedroom or office space for two/family room. Third floor bathroom includes large tub and separate shower.

Attic storage space available. Lower level has more storage space and a finished room.

The lush 8,000 sq ft common yard is rumored to be one of the largest in West Cambridge - with mature plantings and a patio, it feels like a private park. Off-street tandem parking for two cars.

This home is within walking distance to the Haggerty School, the West Cambridge Youth Center, municipal tennis courts, and golf course. Bus line to Harvard Square.
