The residence

Blocks from Kendall Square, this rare free standing workers cottage offers a private oasis in the middle of the city. Oriented for beautiful southern light, the home looks out toward Elm and Hampshire plaza park and neighboring gardens, creating an unexpected sense of calm and greenery. Rebuilt in 2018 while preserving its original shell, the house combines character with modern systems, including acacia hardwood floors, closed cell foam insulation, hardwired smoke and CO detectors, and a full sprinkler system. The open main level is designed for easy living and entertaining, with generous living and dining areas, a beautifully appointed kitchen, oversized island, premium appliances, restaurant grade range, and powerful hood. Glass doors open to a covered deck and exclusive landscaped yard with irrigation. Upstairs are two en suite bedrooms, including a primary suite with walk in closet. The finished lower level offers a media room, storage, laundry, and half bath plumbed for a shower
