This proud c.1900 Gambrel Victorian, sited on the corner of a coveted cul-de-sac abutting the Harvard Observatory and Quadrangle Recreation Center, was fully renovated and rebuilt under the supervision of architectural firm Meyer & Meyer in 1999-2000. This meticulously maintained home was built with the highest quality materials and designed to create a timeless aesthetic. The lush surroundings of specimen trees and beautiful gardens can be appreciated from inside, from one of three decks or from the bluestone patio.The fenced-in garden feels like an oasis. The house offers four bedrooms, four full bathrooms, one half bathroom, gracious living room, step down dining room, a show stopping two-story library with leaded glass windows and a 2nd story glass walkway, eat-in chef's kitchen with butler’s pantry, a mudroom with laundry, lower-level entry hall, family room/ office, wine cellar, an attached one-car garage and additional driveway parking – just over ½ mile from Harvard Square.
