About this home

Single Family in Cambridge, MA - Bedrooms: 10 - Bathrooms: 2.5 - Area: 6449 sqft - Year Built: 1685 - Lot: 18012 sqft

Listing Agent: Nicole Monahan and Hannah Barker - The Monahan Barker Team Brokerage: Landvest, Inc., Ipswich

The iconic Hooper-Lee-Nichols House, built c.1685 and recognized as the second-oldest home in Cambridge, now seeks its next chapter. The three-story Georgian structure is distinguished by its central chimney and balanced proportions. Set on an expansive 18,012+/- sq. ft parcel, the house is sited well back from the street with a detached carriage house/garage accessed from Kennedy Road. Today it stands as the headquarters of History Cambridge and though it is currently configured for office use, future owners will have the opportunity to reimagine the interiors as a grand private home. The property is protected by historic preservation measures ensuring its integrity for generations to come. An easement held by the Massachusetts Historical Commission safeguards important interior features, while its location within the Old Cambridge Historic District safeguards the exterior. The Hooper-Lee-Nichols House is an invitation to stewardship-an opportunity to carry forward a 340-year legacy.
