30 Walker Street

Here's what buyers say, when seeking the elusive Cambridge single family: "We want a historic house...but a renovated one! Something with great architectural detail...but we don't want to lie awake worrying about old house stuff. We'd love a quiet and leafy side street close to Harvard Square, so we can walk to the T and restaurants. We're looking for an exciting urban life... but we'd also like the quiet of a suburban neighborhood, you know what I mean? Is this too much to ask? We surely need a yard. And parking. And central air would be amazing!" And then three weeks of underwhelming open houses spin by, and, shoulders slumped, buyers realize that a number of compromises will need to be made. Except here! 30 Walker fulfills the dream: This elegant, renovated home merges clean, contemporary design with Victorian warmth and sophistication; the exterior offers a sunny deck, a flagstone and brick patio, and fenced yard. With parking and EV charging! Unbeatable location outside Harvard Square.
