  • Property Description
    A legacy property rich in character, location, and historical pedigree. Rare opportunity to customize your Queen Anne Victorian dream home at the Earnest Longfellow House, located on one of West Cambridge’s most sought-after streets. Note: some listing images are renderings showing the potential after renovation, based on approvals already in place. Set on a large corner lot walkable to Harvard Square, this historic residence includes fully transferable approvals from the Cambridge Historical Commission for stucco removal, a comprehensive renovation, a large rear addition, and a carriage house. A complete build-ready package is included: plans by AIA Fellow Frank Shirley, design team, survey, and vetted contractor. Approved to restore original clapboard and shingle detail. Whether executing the full vision or a more modest scope, the flexibility and value-add potential are unmatched. Paint colors are customizable; the yellow and green shown are for illustrative purposes only.
