A walk-up attic and full basement provide exceptional storage and future expansion possibilities. Separate utilities offer added convenience for owner-occupants and investors alike. The property also includes a detached garage and paved driveway offering 2 parking spaces. Ideally suited for owner-occupants, investors, or multi-generational living, this home is conveniently located near world-renowned universities, public transportation, restaurants, shops, parks, and everything Cambridge has to offer. A rare opportunity in one of Greater Boston's most sought-after neighborhoods.
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.
