Description

Classic Cambridge architecture, remarkable original detail and an exceptional Porter Square location come together at 136 Elm Street. Built in 1890, this distinctive Victorian single family offers approximately 2,310 square feet with 3+ bedrooms and 2 baths, filled with the kind of craftsmanship that is nearly impossible to replicate today. Beautiful original moldings, hardwood floors, pocket doors, period millwork and an ornate fireplace create warmth and character throughout the home. Generous room proportions and high ceilings provide an impressive canvas for a thoughtful restoration or renovation that blends historic detail with modern living. A private backyard offers a peaceful retreat, while off-street parking adds a level of convenience rarely found in such a central location. Just moments from Porter Square and close to Davis Square, the Red Line, commuter rail, shops, restaurants and cafés. An uncommon opportunity to create something truly special in the heart of Cambridge.
