116 oakley street

Welcome to 116 Oakley Street, a spacious and soulful home located on the coveted 100's block of Cambridge’s Historic West End. The updated kitchen blends functionality with flair, boasting generous cabinetry, and a butler-style pantry. A 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. Two outbuildings offer 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 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 a nationally known duck gathering spot at the end of the street. This cozy home has been in the same family for generations.
