Property Description
In the heart of Cambridgeport sits this 1839 Hovey-Markham designed Cottage, a prime example of the Greek Revival style and emblematic of the early growth of the neighborhood. Purchased in 1992 by a master builder as his own home, it was gut-renovated, with careful attention to retain character and add only details befitting the pragmatic nature of the Greek Revival style. 44 Cottage Street greets visitors with a classic temple front porch with Doric columns, operable shutters and well-researched historic colors. The home was expanded in 1995 to include a 2-story 1-bedroom apartment in rear with private roof deck. With clever landscape design, the current owners have enjoyed an expansive fenced yard with extensive plantings, a wisteria-clad arbor and storage sheds adjacent to a 2-car stone & brick driveway. This outstanding home combines the grace & character of a historic Cambridge structure, with the comfort, style and quality of a beautifully crafted home for today's lifestyle.
