About 160 Norfolk Street #1

A Singular Cambridge Residence. Overlooking the renewed Sennott Park, the Luke-Scully-Burns House is an exceptional 1855 Second Empire Mansard with a storied past as the former rectory for St. Mary of the Annunciation. Reimagined in 2022 with a discerning eye, this distinguished residence balances historic character with sophisticated contemporary design. Set on a side street in the heart of Cambridge, its expansive park views, exceptional light and nearly 3,000 square feet create a rare sense of openness and privacy.A dramatic foyer introduces the home with a double-height tray ceiling and exquisite sphere chandelier. European oak floors flow into beautifully proportioned living and dining spaces, united by a dual-sided fireplace and direct access to a private deck. The sleek kitchen centers around a waterfall island with seating and features custom cabinetry, Gaggenau double wall ovens and paneled refrigerator, plus a Thermador five-burner cooktop with pot filler. Oversized windows with motorized Hunter Douglas blinds frame the greenery and fill the interiors with natural light.The entire second level is devoted to a serene primary suite, complete with an expansive custom walk-in closet, luxurious four-piece bathroom and a remarkable private deck offering open-sky views across Sennott Park. On the third floor, two additional bedrooms each enjoy beautifully finished en-suite bathrooms. The garden level provides a generous family, media room with custom built-in shelving, the fourth bedroom and full bathroom plus direct access to an intimate, secluded patio.Offering four bedrooms, four and one-half bathrooms, multiple private outdoor spaces and two parking spaces, this singular home provides the scale and privacy of single-family living. Just blocks from Kendall, Central and Inman Squares, as well as the MIT and Harvard campuses, it is an extraordinary union of architectural distinction, modern luxury and quintessential Cambridge living
