Recognized as one of the most attractive homes in the neighborhood, this beautifully renovated 4–5 bedroom, 2-bath condo, set within a 2-unit association, offers an exceptional blend of historic charm, thoughtful design, and modern luxury in one of the most desirable areas of Cambridge.

Welcome to 7A Meacham Road, a beautifully updated 2nd and 3rd floor residence set on a quiet, tree-lined street in leafy North Cambridge. Ideally located just a very short walk to the vibrant energy of Davis Sq and approximately 15 minutes to Porter Sq, this remarkable home offers the perfect balance of tranquility and urban convenience.

With 2,040 square feet of living space, the home features 8 thoughtfully designed rooms, 4–5 bedrooms, and 2 full bathrooms, providing both versatility and comfort for modern living.

A welcoming shared front porch leads to a private entry and charming winding original wooden staircase, introducing the home’s unique and practical layout. The 1st living level features 5 spacious rooms, anchored by a lovely formal dining area that flows seamlessly into a well-appointed chef’s kitchen with stainless steel appliances, abundant wood cabinetry, granite countertops and a stylish tile backsplash.

The dramatic living room is a standout space, showcasing a cathedral skylit ceiling with exposed beams that fills the room with natural light and architectural character. Both the kitchen and living room provide direct access to an exceptionally large private side deck, creating the perfect setting for outdoor dining, relaxing or entertaining.

Two generously sized bedrooms with attractive oak floorboards and beautiful window trim are also located on this level, along with an updated modern full bath featuring a glass-enclosed shower and a brand-new laundry area. A hallway leads to a 2nd private front deck, offering another inviting outdoor space.

The upper level provides 3 additional nicely sized bedrooms with excellent closet space and a spacious full tiled bath featuring an attractive double vanity with granite countertop, linen closet and additional storage area. Central air conditioning ensures comfort throughout the top floor.

The location is truly exceptional. With Walk Score and Bike Score ratings of 98, the property is a walker’s and biker’s paradise. Residents enjoy easy access to the shops and restaurants along Mass. Avenue, beloved local destinations such as Pemberton Farms Marketplace, the vibrant Davis Sq Farmers Market, and more than 100 restaurants and cafés within a one-mile radius. The nearby MBTA Red Line provides effortless access to Boston, while Routes 2 and 16 offer convenient driving options. The home is also close to renowned institutions including Tufts University, Harvard University, Lesley University, and MIT and is just 3–4 blocks from the popular Minuteman Bikeway and Peabody Elementary School.

Additional highlights include a large shared yard with mature perennial gardens, 2 spacious private basement storage areas, and extensive recent upgrades such as new appliances, updated lighting, refinished hardwood floors, fresh interior paint, a renovated laundry area, new kitchen backsplash, updated bath fixtures, and a programmable thermostat. Major system and structural improvements over the years include new heat pumps and mini-splits, gas boiler, 200-amp electrical service to the building, Marvin windows, Hardie Board siding, drainage improvements and roof replacement, ensuring peace of mind for years to come.

A leased off-street parking space is currently secured nearby at 29 Meacham Road and may be extended. A second space may also be available if needed, though street parking is plentiful.
