Property Description
There are houses one admires, and those that quietly capture the heart. For the current owners of 14 Elmwood Ave, it was a true love affair. Built in 1895, this Queen Anne residence sits on a quiet dead-end street in the historic West Cambridge neighborhood, just off Brattle St. and moments from Harvard Sq. Thoughtfully renovated by a landscape architect & developer/urban planner, it blends historic elegance with modern comfort. High ceilings, beautiful proportions, and leaded glass windows with diamond panes fill the home with light. The layout unfolds with exceptional flow, with a well-designed kitchen opening to a family room and south-facing patio and garden. The corner primary suite is a peaceful retreat with open sky views. 5 bedrooms plus a flexible lower-level suite, 4.5 bathrooms, media room and gym, central a/c, and an attached garage, with add’l pkg in the driveway. Across from the Harvard President’s residence and close to the Charles River, Shady Hill & BB&N schools.
