41 Gibson St, Cambridge, MA 02138

This gracious 1870 mansard Victorian, located in the heart of the historic Half Crown-Marsh District of Cambridge, awaits your restorative touch. The property has period features, 10 and 11-foot ceilings, and a full basement. The 30-foot living room is accented with ceiling medallions, two chandeliers, and a wood-burning fireplace with glazed tile and carved wood mantle; the southwestern corner exposure ensures light pours in through the original 7 x 3 windows. The dining room has a deep hutch, and the eat-in kitchen has two pantries. A half bathroom and access to the side yard complete the first floor. Taking advantage of the mansard style, the high ceilings continue throughout the second floor where there are four-plus bedrooms, a full bathroom, and two linen closets. The clapboard exterior has wood shutters and a slate roof. The property is just one block from the Charles River and half a mile to Harvard Square.
