About this home

Welcome to Cloverden ? a private estate on one-third of an acre, tucked away on a quiet side street just steps from Harvard University and Harvard Square. This grand Greek Revival residence offers an exceptional opportunity to reimagine a Cambridge classic. Interior highlights include floor-to-ceiling windows in the living and dining rooms, five fireplaces, and a dramatic curved central staircase. The expansive landscaped grounds provide privacy with mature trees and plantings. A detached two-car garage and separate outbuilding sit at the rear of the property. Currently configured as a single-family home with an auxiliary apartment on the main level, the house also features 2,400 sq ft of unfinished space on the lower level. New Cambridge zoning rules open the door to a variety of future possibilities. A truly rare chance to create something extraordinary in the heart of Cambridge.
