Elegance redefined in Cambridge
Just off the most iconic section of Brattle Street and moments from Harvard Square and the Esplanade, the diminutive Channing Street nevertheless is home to some of Cambridge’s most remarkable properties. One of those, a striking 1894 Victorian at 10 Channing St., is looking for new owners, and they are in for a treat.
Not happy to rest on the laurels of its historic location or pedigree, the home underwent a meticulous renovation, elevating the already grand space into an inspiring, elegant backdrop for living and entertaining.
Spanning four levels (yes, there’s an elevator) and more than 9,000 square feet, the residence sparkles with oversized windows and walls of glass doors overlooking the manicured grounds and patio. The renovation bridges tradition and modernity with deft touches, juxtaposing elements like crown moulding and built-ins with the crisp lines of the marble mantles that adorn the home’s fireplaces.
A design magazine-worthy kitchen is undoubtedly the showpiece, boasting a sleek island, intricate marble backsplash and a family sitting area illuminated by floor-to-ceiling glass doors.
Another standout room? The primary suite on the second floor — with a 24foot terrace, an expansive custom walk-in closet and an ultra-luxe bath.
There are seven bedrooms in all, plus additional spaces for working from home, working out and relaxing in style, including a media room with wet bar on the lower level.
