159 Cherry Street in Cambridge
Oasis in the City
A gorgeous 1990s build by celebrated Cambridge architect/developer, David Aposhian, perfectly located between Central, Inman, and Kendall Squares.
1345 sqft | 2 beds | 1 bath | 1 pkg | 1 enclosed patio/garden
Asking: $1,085,000 OFFER ACCEPTED
On a sun-dappled, quiet side street, a loft like 2 bedroom designed by architect David Aposhian in The Port strikes a well-considered balance between the open, flexible floor plan and defined spaces.
From the front threshold, you pass between the open kitchen, living room and dining room to the right and a library/study to the left with the bedrooms, laundry and bath beyond that. Leafy views evoke a treetop feel and high ceilings enhance the overall spaciousness. The butcher block topped U-shaped kitchen offers substantial cabinet and counter space and is ideal for entertaining. Built-in bookcases line the library and segue into the privacy at the back of the unit. Skylights line the vaulted cathedral ceilings illuminating the spacious primary bedroom with natural light. A double vanity style bath offers a private entrance from the bedroom and a guest entrance through the hall. Down the back staircase, a generous private backyard and patio offers an outdoor urban oasis.
Leave the car in the deeded spot and make your way to any nearby square- Kendall, Central, Inman, Union or Harvard are all nearby!

A Little About Cambridge
The beloved People’s Republic of Cambridge! Old school immigrants and newcomers have been coexisting here for decades, creating an eclectic mix of cultures. The resulting dining scene has some of the best diversity for any Boston area neighborhood. And artists and young people have continued to add their own fresh takes by gravitating to the area when the housing was considered the affordable alternative to Boston. Due to the recent expansion of the Green Line from Lechmere to Union Square and beyond to Tufts, the growth of commerce and increased investment in the community has been substantial.
Boston Home Team Favorites*
Little Donkey - Have you ever had a caviar bun? You should. And you can at this global small plates darling in Central Square!
State Park - The perfect adult rec room vibe complete with pinball, billiards, shuffleboard and a killer jukebox. But when it comes to food, they ain’t playin’ games. Winner, winner chicken dinner!
Area Four - Hands down the best way to impress your friends when they suggest you order some pizzas. These wood-fired pies are pro style. 30+ hour fermented dough and hand-pulled mozzarella - need we say more? And don’t forget the garlic knots!
Mamelah’s Delicatessen - There’s one thing that Cambridge has that Boston can’t lay claim to. (Well, maybe more than one.) But for Jewish delights beyond your basic bagel and a schmear, you might need to cross the river for a top notch pastrami on rye, corned beef or smoked fish platter. Challah!
Judy’s Bay - Book ahead for this cozy neighborhood izakaya because the top shelf fish here makes the tables go fast. But if you have to wait, there is always Lamplighter Brewing straight across the way.
Cicada Coffee Bar - Vietnamese iced coffee is about to change your life, if it hasn’t already. Before you head into the Prospect St Whole Foods, fuel up with one of these. Or skip the grocery and just enjoy a banh mi sandwich in the secret garden out back.
Formaggio Kitchen Kendall - An award-winning cheese shop that will make your next gathering a big win. But don’t stop at the cheese plate! There are sandwiches, baked goods, wine, and gourmet goods galore!
* Editor’s note: There are so many more tasty spots in Cambridge and if we listed them all, we’d be here all day. Once you buy this listing from the Boston Home Team, you’ll have all the time in the world to explore this rich and diverse food scene!
