Every now & again a unicorn comes along, incredibly rare & impossible to duplicate - this best describes the gem known as 146 Spring Street. One parcel, three residences, one spacious driveway & LOADS of potential! Since 1962, Gram, the "neighborhood watch dog", lived in the front home while renting the side-by-side duplex behind to help pay the mortgage. Waiting to be restored to its former beauty, “Gram’s House” features 9+ ft. ceilings on the main level while a curved/barrel ceiling embraces the 4 beds & bath on the upper level. The rear duplex offers nearly identical side-by-side units, also w/high ceilings, pretty staircases & well-distributed space on the upper levels, along w/stair access to the roof! Well before Kendall Sq. became the biotech hub it is today, this East Cambridge neighborhood defined itself as a tight-knit community. Today, it’s evolved into a welcoming neighborhood just .5 mi to the Lechemere T, .7 mi to Kendall T, & <1 mi to the Museum of Science & Boston!
