2 Garden Terrace

This proud c. 1912 Gambrel Victorian, sited on the corner of a coveted cul-de-sac abutting the Harvard Observatory and Quadrangle Recreation Center, was fully renovated and rebuilt under the supervision of Boston architectural firm Meyer & Meyer in 1999-2000. This meticulously maintained home was built with the highest quality materials and thoughtful design to create a timeless aesthetic with all the modern amenities one would expect. The warm and welcoming home offers both formal and informal spaces full of striking detail and character. The lush surroundings of mature specimen trees and beautifully landscaped perennial gardens can be appreciated from inside the house, from one of the three decks or from the bluestone patio. The alluring fenced-in garden feels like an urban oasis. The spacious floor plan offers four bedrooms, four full bathrooms, one half bathroom, generous living room, dining room, a show stopping custom two-story library with leaded glass windows and a 2nd story glass walkway, eat-in kitchen and butler’s pantry, mudroom with laundry, lower-level family room or office, a wine cellar, an attached one-car garage and additional driveway parking – all just over ½ mile from Harvard Square.
