About this home
Opportunity knocks on a pleasant North Cambridge side street just ½ mile to both Porter and Davis Square. This well-maintained two-family has lovely curb appeal and offers tons of potential for an owner-occupant, or a savvy investor looking to buy into a great location. The first-floor features a comfortable 5 room, 2 bedroom, while the upstairs expands to a 3 bedroom, with the added comfort of central air. Both apartments have high ceilings, wood floors and beautiful original belly moldings. The unfinished walk-up attic and the unfinished basement offer significant potential for expansion. Outside, the property continues to impress with a landscaped front yard and a peaceful back yard, both with in-ground irrigation. The driveway can fit at least 3 cars, and the concrete storage shed might be convertible to a garage. Next to the Peabody School, close to Danehy Park, the Anderson Tennis Courts, Pemberton Farms, and easy access to shops, restaurants, and the bike path. Property being delivered vacant.
North Cambridge, located between Porter Square and Alewife Brook Reservation, is a residential and academic Cambridge neighborhood with a rail-trail spine and a river-edge greenbelt. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Massachusetts Ave at Porter Square, where indie bookstores, ramen counters, and late-night coffee windows keep the sidewalks in motion. Porter Square Books, the Somerville Theatre, and Cambridge Brewing Company act as local pillars with a distinctly Cambridge cadence. Side streets mix triple-deckers, brick apartment blocks, and pocket gardens, while the Minuteman Bikeway and Alewife Brook paths shape daily routines. Fresh Pond’s loop and playing fields add open sky, and the Red Line stations stitch the area to the rest of the city.
