About 12 Berkeley Street
The Earnest Longfellow House offers a rare opportunity to customize your Queen Anne Victorian dream home on one of West Cambridge’s most sought-after streets. NOTE: some listing images are renderings of the property showing the potential after renovation based on the Historical Approval in place. Set on a large corner lot walkable to Harvard Square, this historic residence comes with fully transferable approvals from the Cambridge Historic Commission for stucco removal, comprehensive renovation, large rear addition, and carriage house. Architectural plans by AIA Fellow Frank Shirley and a full build-ready package—including survey, design team, and vetted contractors—are included. Approved to restore original clapboard and shingle details. Whether realizing the full vision or a more modest approach, the flexibility is unmatched. A legacy property rich in character, location, and historical pedigree. Paint colors are customizable and the yellow/green scheme is for demonstration purposes.
