Another happy buyer! ✨
This one felt especially meant to be.
35 Walden Street in Cambridge, MA, is a one-of-a-kind loft in a former 19th-century schoolhouse. Our buyers are avid readers and book lovers, so when they discovered that their new home sits behind the building’s original library entrance - complete with “LIBRARY” still carved into the stone facade - it felt like a sign.
Beyond the historic details, the space itself is incredible: soaring ceilings, massive windows, a sun-filled solarium, and a sprawling roof deck. It’s full of character, light, and the kind of charm that’s impossible to recreate.
We couldn’t be happier for these two and can’t wait to see how they make this special home their own. ❤️
