Then there is the expansive fenced-in back yard. The deck steps down to a bluestone patio ringed in cobblestone, and beyond it the ground is open and waiting: room for a garden, a long table, a lawn, for whatever comes next. Below, nearly 600 square feet of unfinished basement handles laundry, utilities, and the kind of storage Cambridge rarely offers. Fully electrified - cold-climate heat pumps throughout, heat pump water heater, induction range, EV charging - with generator backup. Deleaded, weatherized.
