7 Walnut Avenue
7 Walnut Avenue, Cambridge MA 02140
Sold for $2,800,000
When asked what he loved about his family home, he said “it was a peaceful place in the midst of a busy city. When he would climb the hill from Porter Square, the old Victorians and wide avenues would transport him to a more genteel time.” An excellent description of the magic of Avon Hill. 7 Walnut Avenue is the perfect combination of location, size and condition for the buyer who wants to create something special in Cambridge. The years have left the house needing rejuvenation but its soul remains intact. With a little imagination, the next owner can have a ball making it their own. With 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms over 3 floors it is neither too big, nor too small. A 1980’s addition introduced a light filled space looking out to the yard, the upstairs has all the pieces and parts for both comfort and privacy, and the full basement is yet undefined. There is a fairly dilapidated shed that one can just imagine becoming the perfect studio. This is a house to be experienced and enjoyed. We look forward to seeing what it becomes.
