The home has a colorful and Victorian-style exterior.

Tucked away in Cambridge, the 8,005-square-foot Victorian sanctuary provides a glimpse into the 19th century. On the exterior of the five-bed, five-full and four-bath house, colorful shingled walls and a patio create enticing vintage hues. Upon entering 167 Brattle St., built in 1883, feel welcomed by the expansive artisan millwork. “The house was lovingly renovated and restored so that some of the original details remain beautifully intact,” says listing agent Maggie Gold Seelig. Glance into the living room brightened by a wall of casement windows.

Down the hallway sits an urban kitchen adorned with top appliances and granite countertops—an adjacent dining room with mahogany paneling offers the perfect setting for lavish dinner parties. Just be sure to complete every affair with a bottle from the lower-level wine cellar. Even more stunning details await upstairs, including a primary suite with both a dressing room and an en suite bath. Three additional bedrooms dot the second floor, while on the third level, the homeowners can enjoy an au-pair suite outfitted with a kitchenette. $9,995,000, 167 Brattle St., Cambridge, Maggie Gold Seelig, 617.645.4999, mgsgrouprealestate.com
