Great 2-family house one block from Porter Square. Situated on a corner lot with plenty of sunlight. Could use updating but extremely well maintained. Unit layouts could easily be: 3 bed one bath and 3 bed 2 baths (Philly style.) Two unobstructed parking spaces (3 total.) Both units to be delivered vacant.
A rare find. A two family just outside of Porter Square on Porter Park....... a private and quiet side street. Two bedrooms is each unit. Hardwood floors. In unit laundry in each apartment. Newer windows. First floor unit has newer heating system. Vinyl siding. Second floor affords nice deck of the hallway. Property has an excellent rental history. Lovely front gardens. Prime convenient location.....near restaurants, shopping and transportation. Easy access to downtown Boston. On street parking.

Local insights from Redfin agents
Despite new zoning laws encouraging housing production, Cambridge remains a Seller's market driven by pent-up demand and a constant influx of buyers. Because it is a historic, built-out city, there is little new housing to replace existing...
properties, & true supply growth is severely constrained.
