16 Locke Street, Cambridge
Price: $1,390,000
Size: 2,034 square feet
Bedrooms: 4
Baths: 2

Though this home was built in 1890, it exhibits quite a bit of modern flair in Davis Square. Its interior was renovated during the days when Cambridge’s modern design mecca, Design Research, was still open. So sleek fixtures and contemporary accents are in abundance. A thoroughly modern kitchen boasts open shelving, marble countertops, and a colorful backsplash to boot.

The place is also flooded in natural light, thanks to plenty of windows and several skylights on the top floor. When heftier doses of sunshine are needed, there’s a good-sized backyard on the property. The grassy patch offers a stone patio, space for a garden, and a potting shed.
