Kitchen’s hot in Cambridge
New year, new search for that elusive combination of square footage, modern updates and the desire to stay close to the action.
After all, not everyone’s skipping town to move to the suburbs. Whether it’s a daily sanity stroll or being able to cultivate a routine around a local coffee shop, there’s something about an established neighborhood that’s comforting.
Tucked between Inman Square and Harvard Square, 23 Greenough Ave. is your quintessential Cambridge digs, but renovated from the ground up. Unit 2 boasts the sprawl of a single-family space but in a stylish, bi-level footprint and a ton of upgrades without skipping out on the curb appeal.
Although the front-toback open concept layout of Unit 2’s main level feels familiar, it’s nonetheless freshened up via a curated mix of high-end finishes. There’s subtle moulding, sweet details like the built-in shelving near the dining nook recalling the fireplace mantel in the living room, and windows on every wall for great natural light.
If it’s still true that kitchens sell the home — and we think it is — this particular kitchen should seal the deal for Cambridge house-hunters. Gobs of counter space plus a large island with storage, luxe Thermador appliances that include a double wall oven and heavy-duty gas cooktop, and a deep set farmhouse sink look good while working hard.
A primary suite with oversized closet space and spalike bath shares the main level, along with a second bedroom. On the second level, the stairs lead you to an inviting den-like space, an ideal media room or open home office. Two more bedrooms with full-sized windows under the eaves make this a home that can grow with a family.
