“Oasis” is an often overused adjective, but can be uniquely applied to 10 Hilliard Pl. An authentic New England farmhouse blended with a clean-lined mod addition, surrounded by trees & gardens in the heart of Harvard Sq, it is in a world of its own. A wonderful gathering spot, it was filled with family & friends, artists & academics. The neighborhood kids created secret worlds in the gardens, spent hours on the trampoline & made Hilliard Pl their playground. With more than 3,800 sq ft, the house is flexible & accommodating. The kitchen opens to the east terrace & garden and offers the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee. The west-facing living room, with its large bay & French doors, is where you’ll want to be in the afternoon & evening. There are 4 bedrooms, a study and loft upstairs, a finished LL level with a separate entrance & parking for 3-4 cars. As cities become denser & life gets more complicated, 10 Hilliard Pl remains a magical refuge in which to have a rich & full life.
