62 Foster Street
62 Foster Street, Cambridge MA 02138
SOLD for $3,300,000
It was the classic facade and the proximity to Harvard Square and the Charles River that drew them to 62 Foster Street in 2012. Hidden behind the historic clapboard lies a sleek, sophisticated oasis in the middle of a bustling city. Seasoned renovators, they created a fabulously appointed open kitchen and living room with a wood burning fireplace and french doors to the back patio, a private office, and full-size dining room. On the second floor, they made a bedroom suite for their high school aged daughter, a bedroom for when their sons visited, and a media room with a gas fireplace. They transformed the top floor into a light-filled suite with a skylit spa bathroom for themselves. The house is set back from the street behind a lush garden designed to complement the clean architecture and handsome mahogany front door. As life is taking them away from Cambridge, this lovely blend of history and contemporary convenience is available for a new owner who is drawn to its story book character and special location.
