Senné Announces 23 May Street

23 May Street presents a unique opportunity in the verdant Strawberry Hill neighborhood of Cambridge. This true single-family-style home combines classic design with contemporary energy-efficient amenities in nearly 2,500 square feet. 23 May Street is perfectly situated just minutes from Fresh Pond, the Alewife MBTA station, Route 2, and downtown Boston, among other locales. Designed by Peter Quinn Architects and developed by Senné, this brand-new addition to Strawberry Hill is sure to provide an exemplary modern living experience in a historic neighborhood of Cambridge.

Tradition blends seamlessly with modernity at 23 May Street. This home marries a contemporary open floor plan and modern high-end amenities with classic design touches for a warm and inviting atmosphere. The bright main level opens up to a grand living room, anchored by a gas fireplace, and features wide plank European Oak flooring and recessed lighting throughout. A designer kitchen at the back of the home features an oversized island that is painted Naval, a deep blue, named Sherwin-Williams 2020 Color of the Year, and has waterfall quartz countertops and room for stool seating. The kitchen features a Fisher & Paykel Energy Star appliance package, custom Rosario cabinetry with sophisticated molding, and sleek pendant lighting. Right off the kitchen is a dining room that feels tucked away, but accessible. The first-floor powder room adds a functional touch.

Head up the staircase to the primary bedroom, complete with a spa-like ensuite bathroom with a Hibiscus freestanding tub, a tiled shower lined with Tre Di Marmi porcelain, and Mirabelle dual sinks. The second level hosts two equally-sized bedrooms with ample closet space and a bathroom featuring luxe Mirabelle and Grohe fixtures. For added convenience, there’s a laundry closet by the bedrooms. The garden level has a fourth bedroom and third full bathroom, as well as a spacious media room that can be used as a bonus entertainment space or a home office. On the top floor, enjoy this single-family home’s most unique feature—a private cedar clad roof deck with a view of the tree-lined neighborhood. For additional outdoor space, homeowners can also enjoy an expansive private professionally landscaped yard that they can access through the mahogany deck right off the kitchen.

Homeowners will love this home’s green design, as it is modeled at 47 on the HERS index, the industry standard for measuring energy efficiency. A standard new construction home typically measures at 100 on the HERS index, but 23 May goes further by featuring electric vehicle charging capabilities, a dedicated solar-ready zone, spray foam insulation, Energy Star appliances, and Nest thermostats.

In addition to open houses on October 10 and 11 from 1 to 2 p.m., Senné is offering alternative methods to viewing the property and virtual video tours upon request to provide our clients with continued exceptional service during these unprecedented times.

“Our aim with 23 May Street was to reach a new generation of Cambridge residents who value the timeless appeal of classic design but appreciate modern amenities. This one-of-a-kind, energy-efficient home is made for buyers with an affinity for high-quality, elegant architecture and a passion for eco-friendly living,” says William Senné, President and CEO of Senné.
