Offered for $14,000,000

Once in a few generations an opportunity arises to own an exceptionally rare property in one of Cambridge’s prime locations.  This 17-Unit building sits proudly in the prestigious Avon Hill Neighborhood and is a direct neighbor to the oldest early colonial home in Cambridge – the circa 1681 Cooper-Frost-Austin House, near Porter Square and the Harvard Law School. This property was designed in 1912 by the prominent Newhall & Blevins architectural firm as a three-level, warm stucco and brick wrapped apartment building topped by a striking Spanish red tile roof atop the overhanging eaves.   

The historic charm of this lovingly maintained property is seen in many of the original exterior details such as the limestone sills, granite entry steps, rich patina copper gutters and downspouts and many of the double hung windows with restored 16-lite leaded glass upper panes.  The building keeps in step with the historic properties that line the street and surrounding Avon Hill.  Inside, the entry tile, first floor stained glass windows, carved staircases and classic bathrooms- most have original claw foot tubs- 15 working fireplaces, period-built cabinets, and many units enjoy a four-season porch with newer windows which give the residents the feel of classic charm. 

The front & back walkways, and the retaining walls are new. Additionally, a few years ago a high-end Lochnivar water heater was installed that operates independently of the boiler. 
​
​The wide common hallways are gracious and make for easy move-in.  Most kitchens have been renovated, many with granite countertops and stainless appliances.  Every unit has its own locked storage room in the basement where the residents share a laundry room with coin-operated equipment.

The property has a Master Deed and Declaration of Trust recorded for condominium conversion in 1986.  Opportunities to buy a property of this stature in Cambridge are rare and is best fit for the most discerning of portfolios.
