Pride of ownership is evident in this East Cambridge two-family with a lovely landscaped backyard, extra wide 3-car driveway, and an amazing location! Wonderful opportunity for owner-occupants to live in a great neighborhood and enjoy rental income, or to convert back to a single family. Unit 1 is a 4/1/1 and unit 2 is a 5/2+/1. Close to the Charles River, Museum of Science, CambridgeSide Galleria, the Friendly Toast, and the Cambridge Brewing Company. Easy access to Kendall Square, MIT, Harvard University, and Route 93 — the Green Line MBTA is an 8-minute walk and the Red Line at Kendall is less than 15 minutes’ walk. Live where it's happening!
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.

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.
