This large 2 family is perfectly situated 1/2 block from Tufts University, and also in close proximity to Teele Sq. and Davis Sq. Both apartments retain original details such as built in china cabinets, and hardwood floors, and also feature updated kitchens with granite counter tops and new cabinets (In 1st floor unit). 1st floor hosts a classic 5 room/2 bedroom apartment. In its current form, 2nd apartment has 7 room/3 bedrooms, and additional unfinished attic space that could easily be finished for additional living space, and offers many creative possibilities.
