About this home
There?s something about 24 Foster St. that feels wonderful the moment you arrive. Perhaps it?s the leafy, tucked-away street just outside Harvard Sq. Maybe it?s the simplicity of the cottage itself: understated & sweet, with genuine charm. Or perhaps it?s when you step inside & realize that this is a home with quiet grace, the kind that comes only from being well-loved. Thoughtfully tended & full of character, this 3-bedroom plus study, 2-bathroom worker?s cottage surprises & delights in all the right ways. A 1st-floor bedroom & bath provide wonderful flexibility. The back of the house opens to a deck & a generous, unexpected yard: an outdoor haven you?d never guess was hiding behind the home?s modest front. With 1,589 sq ft of living space on a 3,477 sq ft lot, it?s comfortable as-is, featuring central A/C and a wood-burning fireplace, while also being ready for the next chapter: updates or renovations to take it into the future. A home with a story, and a space for yours to unfold.
