It was the classic facade and the proximity to Harvard Sq & the Charles River that drew them to 62 Foster St in 2012. Hidden behind the historic clapboard lies a sleek, sophisticated oasis in the middle of a bustling city. Seasoned renovators, they created a fabulously appointed open kitchen/living room with a wood burning fireplace & french doors to the back patio, a private office, & full-size dining room. On the 2nd floor, they made a bedroom suite for their high school aged daughter, a bedroom for when their sons visited, & a media room with a gas fireplace. They transformed the top floor into a light-filled suite with a skylit spa bathroom for themselves. The house is set back from the street behind a lush garden designed to complement the clean architecture & handsome mahogany front door. As life is taking them away from Cambridge, this lovely blend of history & contemporary convenience is available for a new owner who is drawn to its story book character and special location.
