One of the most opulent estates in Cambridge — 167 Brattle Street — has hit the market.

Buyers looking for a marquee property would be hard-pressed to find a finer example of the Queen Anne Victorian style. In fact, the Henry Van Brunt House won a preservation award in 2006 from the Cambridge Historical Commission.

If the name sounds familiar, it should. Van Brunt, who designed 167 Brattle Street as his own residence, is also responsible for Memorial Hall and Weld Hall at Harvard University and the Cambridge Public Library among many other structures.

The corner 0.4-acre lot is surrounded by mature trees, landscaping, and graced by a magnificent willow, complementing the home’s earth-toned exterior.

Inside, the property epitomizes grandeur on an unparalleled scale, with extensive expert millwork, an ornate staircase, and stained glass windows. Although the home’s been renovated to include your 21st century creature comforts, it retains its period character and drama.

Gather with loved ones in the formal living room, dining room, music room, or family room — or enjoy multiple outdoor living spaces. Gourmands and wine enthusiasts will love the elevated rustic French country kitchen, as well as the impressive wine cellar on the lower level.

Sleeping quarters include four bedrooms on the second level plus bonus guest quarters with a bath on the third level.

Need more room for fun? The third level houses a game room while the lower level adds a kids’ playroom and a home gym.

For more information about the property, listed at $13,500,000, contact Gail Roberts, Ed Feijo & Team at Coldwell Banker, 617-844-2712.

Address: 167 Brattle Street, Cambridge, MA 02138
