Mid-Cambridge. Set on a quiet one-way street and ideally positioned between Harvard, Central and Inman Squares and moments from the Cambridge Public Library, tennis courts and neighborhood parks, 6–8 Goodman Road brings together two substantial duplex homes in one modern two-family residence. More than 4,100 square feet of living space is thoughtfully divided between two distinctive homes, each with its own layout, character and parking. The 1,900-square-foot upper duplex unfolds across the second and third floors with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, bright open living spaces, a fireplace and a private top level enhanced by skylights. The 2,205-square-foot first and garden-level duplex offers 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, with an open kitchen and living area above and a flexible walk-out lower level featuring a kitchenette, separate entrance and direct access to a private patio. Thoughtful finishes and timeless materials give both homes a polished, enduring quality. Each residence has in-unit laundry, stainless steel appliances, one garage space and an additional driveway space. Whether envisioned for an owner-occupant, multi-generational living or investment, 6–8 Goodman offers the rare opportunity to own two individual, house-like residences under one roof in the heart of Mid-Cambridge.

Mid-Cambridge, located between Harvard Square and Central Square, is a residential and academic Cambridge neighborhood with tree-lined side streets and a pocket-sized retail scene. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Massachusetts Avenue near Prospect Street, where coffee counters, small restaurants, and storefront studios keep the sidewalks active. Brick rowhouses, classic triple-deckers, and campus-adjacent buildings shape a streetscape that feels historic without feeling museum-like. Harvard Yard and the Harvard Art Museums sit at the edge, adding lectures, galleries, and a steady cultural current. Cambridge Common and nearby courtyards give the grid a green pause. Bike lanes and frequent buses along Mass Ave tie daily errands to the larger squares.

Just three blocks from Harvard Square on a sleepy one way street, sits this sweet 5/9 two-family, with two car garage. House has many upgrades (unit #6 has central air and newer double pane windows) and was loved and cared for by its owner but is now ready for your own cosmetic changes/renovations. First floor apartment (#8) has five rooms, 2 beds, 1 bath & front and back porches. Second floor unit (#6) has 9 rooms/2.5 baths that include a 3 room in-law unit with kitchenette & bath on third floor. This top floor unit has an open front porch, an enclosed back porch and in-unit laundry. Both units have living rooms with fireplaces and built-in china cabinets in dining rms and hardwood floors. Roof is believed to be a few years old. House can be delivered vacant in September. Great home or investment property with the ability to enjoy and walk to shops & restaurants, the river, and your choice of red line stations!
