390 Washington Street Residences, Cambridge
Just a short walk from Central Square, 390 Washington Street offers six thoughtfully designed residences in a walkable, transit-rich neighborhood. The site combines privacy, functionality, and outdoor living with easy access to bus routes and the Red Line.
The existing Washington Street structure will be partially remodeled, while five new units will be built to the rear. Each home enjoys a dedicated parking space—one off Washington Street, five via a shared rear drive—while pedestrian-friendly design preserves Fiske Place as a calm, residential streetscape. Existing rights-of-way are respected and integrated into the layout.
Each unit features a private deck and green space, creating personal outdoor retreats. Spaces are designed to balance openness with privacy, perfect for dining, relaxation, or gardening.
Driveways and parking areas may use permeable paving to combine durability, aesthetic appeal, and stormwater benefits. Steps, low walls, and guardrails are carefully scaled to the site, creating elegant, human-focused circulation throughout the property.
Privacy fencing and layered plantings provide buffers between units and abutters, while trash enclosures and other support elements are discreetly integrated into the landscape.
Native, low-maintenance plants are selected for seasonal interest, visual appeal, and ecological value. Trees, shrubs, and perennials bring color, texture, and life to the site year-round, enhancing both privacy and neighborhood character.
