Perfectly positioned at the edge of Harvard Square, 22 Francis Avenue offers a rare balance of refinement, warmth, and true livability on storied Professors’ Row. Inside, the house is grounded and gracious, with Arts and Crafts detailing lending character throughout. The living room, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, sets the scene for salon-style gatherings, while the dining room invites lively, candlelit dinners. A light-filled kitchen — framed by soaring, double-height windows designed by renowned architect Moshe Safdie — overlooks the mature backyard. A wide yard, framed by old-growth trees and a pergola-covered patio, extends the living space outdoors. The finished lower level offers room for ping-pong tournaments, family movie nights, a gym, and a conditioned wine cellar. A generous mudroom brings sanity to the joyful chaos of daily life. With its uncommon mix of elegance and everyday ease, 22 Francis Avenue is a true Cambridge home, ready for its next chapter.
