Some homes speak softly and leave a lasting impression. Set proudly in Harvard Square, 159 Mount Auburn Street is full of quiet beauty - gracious proportions, incredible light, and a sense of timeless ease. When the current owners first stepped inside, the house was in rough shape, but the soaring ceilings, natural light, and unbeatable location captured their imagination. They’ve been shaping their home around those gifts ever since. With 3,014 square feet, 5 bedrooms, and 3.5 bathrooms, the house offers room to live expansively. Formal where it should be, relaxed where it matters most—it strikes a rare balance between elegance and ease. The kitchen opens to a private terrace, a calm retreat tucked away from the bustle. The neighborhood still feels like a village, with everything close by and neighbors who stop to say hello. A driveway for 2 cars adds ease. Solar panels, central A/C via heat pump, and careful stewardship make this home ready for what’s next.
