Hot Property: Hidden gem neighborhood in Cambridge

As luxury build-outs in the Greater Boston area have achieved a happy plateau — where buyers know more or less what amenities and finishes they can expect in a high-end renovation — it might be time to turn back to the old real estate adage of location, location, location.

After all, you might want to take a walk around the neighborhood at some point. Buyers poking around Cambridge will find both — a swank house and a hidden gem neighborhood — with 14 Norumbega Street #14.

The three-bedroom condominium conversion in Cambridge’s Strawberry Hill enjoys the quiet away from the bustle of the city squares while being optimally located next to public transportation to Harvard Square, shopping and dining spots along Huron Avenue, and scenic dog walking around Fresh Pond Reservation.

Sitting on the right side of modern without overdoing it on the trends, the home’s open floor plan on the main living level has several things going for it: a shiplap feature wall with fireplace and oak shelving for visual interest, wide plank flooring, and a stylish kitchen that subtly blends in with the home’s aesthetic. Stainless steel Thermador appliances and a waterfall quartz island with seating add a sleek touch. Rounding out the first floor is a primary suite with a large walk-in closet and en-suite bath.

At more than 1,800 square feet, there’s more than enough elbow room for the whole family. The condo adds two more bedrooms on the second floor, each with tons of storage, plus a laundry room.

The bonus space in Strawberry Hill also yields a cute private yard space with a stone patio, and parking for one car.
