About this House

Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in West Cambridge's historic Larchwood enclave, 6 Old Dee Road is a newly renovated single-family home offering privacy, outdoor space, offstreet parking, central air conditioning, and immediate access to Harvard Square via Brattle Street.

Rebuilt in 2026 with modern systems and high-end finishes, the home offers three levels of bright, finished living space while retaining the scale and warmth of a classic Cambridge residence. Open, sun-filled living areas flow to a renovated chef's kitchen with high-end appliances, anchored by a fireplaced living room. Upstairs, the primary suite features a walk-in closet and opens to a private balcony, with a second balcony off an adjacent guest bedroom. The fully finished lower level adds office / guest space, a full bath, laundry, a gym area, and a flexible media or family room.

Outside, a fenced backyard with patio, teak dining set, and grill creates an easy setting for outdoor entertaining. The location offers convenient access to Harvard Square, Huron Village, Fresh Pond Reservation, nearby private and public schools, MBTA connections, and the Harvard, MIT, Kendall Square, and Longwood Medical Area employment centers.

    "We have lived here for two years after moving from the suburbs, it’s a nice place and we really like being able walk to so many places."
  • Lansberry.family
    "Great place I’m so glad that we moved here from the suburbs 2 years ago. It’s a great combination of convenience and quiet."
  • Trulia User
    "Yes, they like dogs living in the neighborhood. Also, the place is very nice for dog walking. ... "
  • Sandy
    "Great neighborhood and people are very friendly! Lots of parks nearby and very tranquil and safe. Great youth baseball programs as well. "
  • Anna.silbey
    "This is a very family friendly area with various parks and green spaces. The local stores are part of the community and help foster independence for the neighborhood kids. "
  • Maureen.plaisimond
    "Safe community. Family friendly & Dog friendly area. Near Fresh Pond so walking is pleasant. Could be more diverse"
  • Ginny B.
    "Fresh Pond for long walks- VERY clean and well-maintained park with amazing scenery and an especially beautiful, grassy area for Cambridge-licensed dogs."
  • Pepe C.
    "Quiet and clean neighborhood with a few restaurants and market stores closed by. Accesible by bus, bike and car. Lots of amenities on a walk distance. "
  • Linh
    "Quiet, close proximity to stores, boutiques, streets have sidewalks, bike lanes, and street parking is available and not congested as downtown. City setting but suburban feel, people walk their dogs, responsible for cleaning up after them, green spaces, colleges near by but never feel like you’re living near an animal house. Great quality of life. Nearby transit, plenty of blue bikes, etc. I absolutely love it here!"
  • Morgan R
    "Trains and buses are pretty good. Convenient walk to school. Driving better for commute to south Boston "
  • Jasper H.
    "Not enough green space to adequately have your dog get his run on! Also we have lots of traffic on Concord Ave."
  • Maggie A
    "It is mostly family but buses do not run often enough and I would like a Shaw’s or Stop and shop near by. The Star Market is close but it old and dreary"
  • Robramsdell
    "There is a great mix of people and it is a very friendly and nice environment with access to playgrounds, toy store, market, parks, and Fresh Pond Reservation. "
  • Bottlegreenjaguar
    "A rare combo of urban amenities and culture -- walking distance to Harvard, excellent markets and galleries, a Blue Bikes station -- with a somewhat suburban feel: tree-lined roads, well-tended gardens, friendly neighbors. Even the on-street parking isn't as impossible as in most other parts of Cambridge. With the long-awaited completion of recent major public work, accessibility for most modes of transpo (not to mention the sewer infrastructure) is vastly improved."
  • Laura S.
    "There are some dog parks nearby and a good bike trail to walk on."
  • Laura S.
    "The commute can be a bit tough at times. Alewife gets very busy."
  • Laura S.
    "It's a great location close to a bunch of squares and the Red Line."
  • Laura S.
    "For parents, it's a nice part of town that you can easily get around in."
  • Linda J.
    "Dog owners can walk their dogs around Harvard University, and there are parks too. But some parts can feel a little cramped."
  • Linda J.
    "Sometimes the traffic can be bad around Harvard, but it is usually good."
  • Linda J.
    "There is something about it that just makes me very happy. There is no other place like it."
  • Ann S.
    "I love living in West Cambridge. Beautiful, safe,family-and pet-friendly neighborhood in a wonderful community."
  • Paul C.
    "We purchased a home in another area but will sorely miss this part of town. It is quiet, with great neighbors, and Fresh Pond is hands down one of the best places to walk the dog that I know of, beautiful and peaceful. I spend 4-6 days a week enjoying the views. The neighborhood is very convenient to the T, shops, and restaurants. Also with a short walk or bike ride you will be in Porter Sq, Davis Sq, or Harvard for all Cambridge has to offer. "
  • Diane L.
    "Great neighborhood - one of Cambridge's best, large lots, right next to Fresh Pond Reservation for recreation. Walk to libraries, stores, T, restaurants. Close to major routes (2, 3, 16, Mass Pike) for easy escapes from the city. "
