40 Cushing St, Cambridge, MA 02138

Behind a classic front porch on tree-lined Cushing Street, this late-19th-century townhouse surprises with an 8,000 sq ft backyard - more private park than a "common" garden. Inside, nearly 2,300 sqft unfolds across three sunny levels, giving everyone space to work, unwind, and spread out. Main level - A gracious foyer and original staircase introduce an oversized living room that flows into the open kitchen/dining/family hub. Granite counters, cherry cabinetry with uppers & lowers, and a Viking gas range anchor the cook's kitchen, while French doors lead to the patio for al-fresco dinners. A half bath completes the floor. Second level - Two generous bedrooms flank a spa-style bath with separate soaking tub and glass shower. The laundry room - with walk-in closet - corrals the chores in one tidy spot. Third level - One well-proportioned bedroom plus an expansive bonus room (perfect as a primary suite, studio, or double home office) share a second full bath with its own tub and shower. The lower level offers a finished flex room for workouts, hobbies with substantial storage space on hand. Additional attic storage sits above, and an off-street parking is included. Now undergoing lead-compliance certification and featuring a brand-new HVAC system, this home will be available December 1. Moments to Fresh Pond, Star Market, Haggerty School, tennis courts, and the 71/73 bus to Harvard Square - yet blissfully quiet when you want it. Townhouse living, newly fenced-in park-sized yard, Cambridge address: check, check, and check.
