✨ PRICE IMPROVEMENT ✨
Welcome to 116 Oakley Street, a spacious and soulful home located on the coveted 100's block of Cambridge’s Historic West End. Overflowing with rustic charm and lived-in warmth, this one-of-a-kind property offers an eclectic blend of historic character, cozy homestead vibes, and room to make it your own. From the moment you step inside, you’ll feel the story this home has to tell. The gracious foyer opens to a welcoming living room, perfect for quiet evenings or casual gatherings. The updated kitchen blends functionality with vintage flair, boasting generous cabinetry, a butler-style pantry, and a dedicated canning wall—ideal for those who love to cook or preserve. The rare first-floor primary suite offers convenience not often found in homes of this era. A full staircase—accented by charming built-ins—leads to the second and third floors, where creative spaces and flexible rooms await. Upstairs, the sun-drenched primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet and laundry center and connects to a third bedroom currently used as a studio or workspace. A freshly renovated bathroom and two additional bedrooms offer space to spread out, with even more potential on the third floor: a fifth bedroom, a half bath, and a climate-controlled bonus room that could become a sixth bedroom or hideaway. Out back, the fenced yard invites simple, purposeful living—once home to chickens, raised garden beds, and composting. Two outbuildings offer rustic utility: a storage shed/potting space and a wired workshop, ready for your tools or creative projects. Rear gates allow for off-street parking. While this home is rich in personality and functional updates, it also welcomes your vision and finishing touches. Whether you're drawn to its homestead roots, historic setting, or abundant potential, 116 Oakley Street is a rare opportunity to own something truly special in the heart of Cambridge—just moments from the yacht basin, farmers market, downtown shops, eateries, and more. Come explore the charm and imagine the possibilities—schedule your showing today!
