Prominently positioned on Garden Street, just steps from Harvard Square and across the street from the Radcliffe Quad, 44 Garden Street commands a proud presence in one of Cambridge’s most distinguished settings. This grand single-family home offers wonderful scale, with high ceilings, four fireplaces, and a classic layout of large formal rooms that speak to another era of craftsmanship. Its stately façade and architectural detailing contribute to the historic character that defines this approach to Harvard Square. Inside, long term ownership has left the house both beautiful and worn, an authentic canvas ready for renewal. The proportions, ceiling height, and unusually tall 8½-foot basement suggest opportunities for expansion or reconfiguration. Whether restored as a distinguished residence or reimagined for new use, 44 Garden Street stands as a rare offering in a premier Harvard Square location, substantial in presence and rich with possibility. Includes a driveway and garage.
