Anyone can buy a stately Colonial in Harvard Square.
Well, not anyone, but you know what we mean. Snapping up trophy real estate and calling it a day is one thing. Taking over as the new steward of a one-of-a-kind home and turning it into a showcase property takes a special touch.
To wit, 48 Brewster Street in West Cambridge, your quintessential off-Brattle Street who-gets-to-live here stunner, brand new to market.
The neighborhood superlatives are built in — the home is moments from Harvard Square, Huron Village, and the Charles River — but it’s the interior that truly dazzles here. While you can’t get much more traditional than a late-1800s center-entrance Colonial in New England, the interior design is a sophisticated blend of timeless elegance and moments of sheer architectural joy. It should come as no surprise that the home is currently owned by a notable local designer.
Where high-end properties in the area are falling victim to drab minimalism and greyification, 48 Brewster Street unfolds as a home with personality. Chevron wood floors and built-ins, sizable fireplaces, coffered ceilings, and pops of color tell a story throughout the formal living and dining rooms. A Herrick & White kitchen with Calcutta marble opens to a casual dining nook and a cozy family room. Here, the home’s grounds can be enjoyed through the floor-to-ceiling paned windows and doors or out on the private 29’ covered porch.
On the home’s second level, a sumptuous primary suite with fireplace and luxe bath joins three additional bedrooms. A home gym, media room, wine room, and guest bedroom with a full bath occupy the lower level.
For more information about the home, listed at $6,800,000, contact Gail Roberts, Ed Feijo & Team with Coldwell Banker Realty – Cambridge.
Address: 48 Brewster Street, Cambridge, MA 02138
