About this home

Investors and homeowners: a gracious, well-maintained two-family just outside bustling Davis Square where live music, candlepin bowling, an old-fashioned butcher, craft beer, and the city's best rib joint are just some of the urban delights to be had. Less than half a mile from the Davis Square Red Line T stop and just off the Minuteman bike bath, commuting is a breeze. Original moldings, hardwood floors, high ceilings and many windows throughout. Each unit offers a spacious living room with parlor entry to a formal dining room, airy kitchen with pantry, multiple private outdoor spaces, parking and extra storage. Unit 1: a two-bedroom philly style that occupies the full first level of this home with an additional bedroom upstairs. It is newly vacant as of September 1, but was last rented for $2,800/mo. Unit 2: a four-bedroom duplex on the second and third floors with updated kitchen and two bathrooms. Rented through August 2022 for $4,400/mo. Separate heating systems, washer/dryer.
