About this home
This fabulous side by side 2 Family was renovated in 2016, and remains fresh and new, in great condition! We are located on a quiet tree lined side street, yet accessible to all that is offered in vibrant East Cambridge, and Kendall Square. The southern exposure allows for constant natural light, hardwood floors on two levels have been recently refinished, and the kitchen cabinetry is white, with upgraded countertops and stainless appliances. The exterior siding is HardiePlank. Unit 2 has a lovely view of the private courtyard. This property has been lived in very well, and well maintained by the current owners, a multi-generational family. Currently offered for sale as two condominiums as well~ Condo docs are drafted, but not recorded ~ and available for your review.
