About this home
Built in 1888 and standing beautifully for nearly 140 years, 75 Pollock Avenue is a remarkable home where history, character and thoughtful updates come together. Its impressive granite exterior hints at the craftsmanship of another era, while inside, care has been taken to preserve the warmth and architectural character that make a home of this vintage so special. Today, this distinctive property offers two spacious, self-contained living spaces, each with its own personality and wonderful outdoor area. The main-floor unit is generous in scale, featuring a large living room with gas fireplace, formal dining room, beautifully updated kitchen, spacious bedroom and ensuite bathroom plus an additional bathroom for guests. A full basement provides dedicated laundry, utilities and additional storage, while a private deck extends the living space outdoors for summer dining and entertaining. The upper unit is equally inviting, with a comfortable living room, separate dining room, bedroom with separate office area and an exceptionally spacious bathroom/laundry combination. Its large private deck feels like an outdoor living space of its own. A peaceful place to dine, relax and enjoy the surrounding mature trees. The backyard is a gardener's dream, it offers established gardens, two sheds and a hidden courtyard tucked away from view. The perfect setting for evenings gathered around the fire. There's an abundance of parking, two driveways, one on each side of the home enough to accommodate 4-5 cars. Set on a beautiful tree-lined street surrounded by historically significant homes, this is more than a stately historic gem,. It is a piece of Cambridge history that has stood the test of time, offering the character and craftsmanship of 1888 together with the comfort and versatility of today. Homes like this simply aren't built anymore. This home is listed as historically significant however it's not on the registry. Kitchen renovated in 2022. Furnace 2019.
