That inexplicable feeling of being home!

Listed for $3,700,000

“All of us here have reasons to be grateful,” the owners said, reflecting on their 25 years in Cambridge. Their story began with a chance encounter at a local coffee shop when they learned 31 Ash Street was available for sale, and they had that inexplicable and enduring feeling of being home the minute they walked through the door. They have loved their neighborhood, with its strong sense of community, good neighbors, close connection to the Charles River, and easy access to Harvard Square. They have loved the light that pours in from every direction, the drama of the front entrance, the privacy of their bedroom suite, the flexibility of having three additional bedroom suites, and their beautifully curated secret garden. They have also loved having a formal dining room for large gatherings and a casual eat-in kitchen/family room for every day. And most importantly, they are grateful for the 1999 renovation, which allowed them to live comfortably and worry-free. As they retire and move on, they are heartened by the thought that someone else will now have the opportunity to live at 31 Ash Street and love it as they have!
