Tucked along one of the most sought-after streets in West Cambridge, between Harvard Square and the Charles River, this beautifully proportioned home blends historic character with everyday convenience. Mercer Circle, originally called Telephone Street, is part of a storied enclave developed by Gardiner G. Hubbard, founder of the National Geographic Society and 1st president of Bell Telephone Company. The property showcases a 29' covered wrap-around porch overlooking specimen plantings. Inside, gracious rooms are defined by tall windows and ceilings, fireplaces, and custom built-ins. Outside, the irrigated fruit gardens yield plums, blueberries, apples, and vegetables. Ideally located just 0.2 miles from BBandN's Lower and Middle Schools and approximately one mile from Shady Hill School and BBandN's Upper School. Properties on Mercer Circle are rarely offered, as residents tend to stay for generations, drawn by the tranquil setting, community, and enduring curb appeal.
