Luxury 3 bed/2.5 bath House, Fenced Yard, Short Walk to Harvard. Dogs OK. | House in Cambridge
3 Bedroom House in Riverside, Cambridge
We custom built this house ourselves, with every comfort we could imagine, and we invite you to enjoy this oasis within Cambridge. With over 60 windows, it is a free-standing single family, hidden from the street, with a completely fenced yard - perfect for letting your dogs roam free if they are traveling with you. The house has a deluxe gourmet kitchen with an indoor grill & griddle - for when you want a steak in the middle of winter or just pancakes.
The first floor has an over-sized gas fireplace for those cold wintry nights. (If you're staying over Christmas, feel free to get a Christmas Tree and hang stockings from the mantle.) The second floor has a bathroom with washer and dryer, access to an outdoor deck, two bedrooms each with queen size beds and a private office.
Our favorite part of the house - which often works as a family room because no one wants to leave it - is the third floor, which is dedicated entirely to a master suite. It has a 13 foot high ceiling with huge windows that wrap around the master. From the front right corner, you can see the downtown skyline and often a partial-view of the July 4th fireworks in the distance.
The window seat underneath the front windows is the perfect spot to read. Or you may choose the comfy chair under the (remote control) fireplace. The king size bed sits beneath 4 skylights (with remote control solar shades) so depending on the weather, you can lie back and watch the pitter-patter of rain, snowflakes falling, clouds passing, or at night, watch the stars. The thirteen foot high ceiling helps create a feeling of openness.
The house is Gold LEED certified with 10 inches of icynene insulation and top of the line Andersen windows, so it always feels cozy and quiet. The first floor fireplace can easily heat the entire home, but just in case, there's a second fireplace and three heating/cooling zones.
In the master, all windows have black-out shades/curtains so at night, it is pitch black if that's your preference. The master has a separate dressing room, and an amazing bathroom - double sink, laundry chute, 5 head shower with independent temperature control, steam shower, and a huge soaking tub.
The entire house has high speed wi-fi with signal boosters on each floor.
What makes the home magical to us is its location - within a few blocks, you have Harvard University (the College), MIT, Harvard Business School, Whole Foods, excellent chinese and indian restaurants, high end restaurants like Waypoint and Pammys, Central Square and the T. It is also a few blocks from the Charles River. No car is required, but if you need one, we are a straight shot to the mass turnpike which takes you straight into Boston and Logan Airport.
We allow pets - particularly dogs. We have a built in a number of dog-friendly features such as a completely fenced yard (so no dog walks required - just let them out), a 'dog window' so you know when they want to come in, and a 'dog cave' so they can sit in the kitchen but be out of the way if you wish to put pillows or a crate there.
Due to its location (Harvard, MIT, Boston) and amenities, we have hosted many VIPS - from movie stars to royalty to famous authors to famous politicians. All told, we love our home and invite you to enjoy it too.
NOTE: If you enjoyed this property and are looking for a nice summer getaway, we have a Main House (HA 4745951) and a Cottage (HA 4746520) available for summer rentals, also dog friendly, with fenced yard, and a short walk to the beach through a nature preserve.
