LISTED FOR $1,485,000  |  SOLD FOR $1,625,000
498 FRANKLIN STREET
CAMBRIDGE, MA 02139

SINGLE FAMILY  |  2 BEDROOMS  |  2 BATHROOMS  |  1,406 ​SF

A Provincetown poet’s cottage in the heart of Riverside. Though modest in scale, this 1868 clapboard single-family lives larger than its footprint, with light, views, and thoughtful details. The front porch—with its swing, broad enough for books and conversation—sets a welcoming tone and opens to a living room with exposed beams, hardwood floors, and a fine Danish wood stove. A full eat-in kitchen with writing nook, wine fridge, and custom barnwood cabinetry anchors the home. Each of the two baths offers character: a full main-floor bath with walk-in shower, and upstairs, a luminous bath with glass-enclosed shower and clawfoot tub. Three open exposures—one overlooking the leafy pocket park across the street—offer long views and a sense of space and calm. A dry, full-height basement with laundry, workbench, and storage extends the living space. With two-car parking, plus Riverside’s tree-lined streets between Harvard, Central, and the Charles River, this cottage is a rare find.

LOCATION  |  RIVERSIDE

498 Franklin Street
Cambridge, MA 02139

Flanking the gentle curve of the Charles River, Riverside is a charming pocket of Cambridge, a stone's throw away from the pulsating life of Harvard Square. With its tree-lined streets and historic residences, Riverside is a canvas of cultural diversity, echoing the rhythms of jazz festivals, farmers' markets, and community gatherings. Its riverbanks become especially lively during warmer days, with residents kayaking or simply lounging by the water, making Riverside not just a place to live, but a lifestyle to embrace.
