About the Property

The iconic Hooper-Lee-Nichols House, built [hidden information] and recognized as the second-oldest home in Cambridge, now seeks its next chapter. The three-story Georgian structure is distinguished by its central chimney and balanced proportions. Set on an expansive 18,012 sq. ft parcel, the house is sited well back from the street with a detached carriage house/garage accessed from Kennedy Road.
The iconic Hooper-Lee-Nichols House, built [hidden information] and recognized as the second-oldest home in Cambridge, now seeks its next chapter. The three-story Georgian structure is distinguished by its central chimney and balanced proportions. Set on an expansive 18,012 sq. ft parcel, the house is sited well back from the street with a detached carriage house/garage accessed from Kennedy Road. Today it stands as the headquarters of History Cambridge and though it is currently configured for office use, future owners will have the opportunity to reimagine the interiors as a grand private home. The property is protected by historic preservation measures ensuring its integrity for generations to come. An easement held by the Massachusetts Historical Commission safeguards important interior features, while its location within the Old Cambridge Historic District safeguards the exterior. The Hooper-Lee-Nichols House is an invitation to stewardship-an opportunity to carry forward a 340-year legacy.

Boston’s North Shore is a picturesque tapestry where history meets the sea, and each town has a story to tell. T

Boston’s North Shore is a picturesque tapestry where history meets the sea, and each town has a story to tell. The convenient hamlets north of the city have long commanded premium values, from the most spectacular waterfront properties in Manchester-by-the-Sea, Beverly, Gloucester, and Rockport to classic saltwater farms in Essex and riverfront properties in Ipswich. Off the water, proximate to the venerable Myopia Hunt Club, North Shore farms and equestrian properties in Hamilton, Wenham, Ipswich, and Topsfield are well paired with LandVest’s conservation planning and marketing expertise. Our Ipswich office is perched at the top of the hill overlooking nearby shops, restaurants, and galleries found in town, all just a short stroll to the Ipswich River.


Founded in 1968, LandVest | Christie’s International Real Estate is one of New England’s largest and longest-operating independent real estate firms, dedicated exclusively to marketing the most distinctive properties in the most iconic communities across New England and the Adirondacks.


LandVest offers a unique range of services that no other brokerage firm can bring to the table: a collaborative brokerage team supported by the Christie’s International Real Estate network, a highly credentialed appraisal and valuation team, unmatched land planning and consulting, and even GIS mapping and forestry services — all in-house at your disposal. We have the knowledge and expertise to navigate even the most complex real estate requests.


Our team members have an unparalleled reputation for expert knowledge and personal service, and have spent decades in their communities helping clients, neighbors organizations, family, and friends make their homes and dreams come to life across New England. It’s why we say we have sold more homes to people we know than to strangers.
