About 281 Concord Ave
OPEN HOUSE: SAT 9/19 & SUN 9/20, 11:30 AM–1:00 PM. Located off Harvard Square in West Cambridge, this dramatic contemporary residence is defined by exceptional volume, natural light, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. The main living area is entirely at ground level, with zero stairs required, and a primary suite on each level—offering exceptional flexibility for multigenerational living. Soaring ceilings of approximately 14 feet and a long wall of south-facing windows create an extraordinary sense of scale and light. The kitchen, dining, and living spaces flow together and open directly to a private rear garden patio, creating a peaceful, Zen-like setting and a generous indoor-outdoor space for entertaining. Inside, warm natural materials are layered with moody, saturated color. A dramatic glass wall along the staircase and upper hallway, complemented by skylights above, draws light deep into the home and creates a striking transparency between levels. Expansive yet intimate, the home combines dramatic architectural volume, flexible living, and a peaceful connection to the garden. Originally gut-renovated in 2016 and thoughtfully converted to residential use in 2026.
