The perfect blend of old and new

On the top floor of a classic 6 unit building built in 1910, Unit #5 at 64 Highland Avenue, in desirable Mid-Cambridge, is a wonderful blend of old world architecture and re-imagined spaces, better-suited to a 21st-century lifestyle. The property – which runs the full length of the building - has high ceilings, beautiful moldings, lovely light and a large private porch overlooking an even larger, lush common backyard. In 2014 the kitchen and dining room were combined to create a nice open plan that is a delightful surprise. It lends itself beautifully to a daily meal for the two of them or for a large dinner with friends. Many guests have stayed in the second bedroom, and the little office off the living room is the perfect spot to spend the day working from home. It was the 9-foot ceilings, being on the top floor, and the lovely light that drew the current owners to the property. Come and discover what you find most compelling!
