About This Home
As of October 2023Welcome to 263 Putnam Avenue, a charming two-family Victorian nestled in the Riverside neighborhood of Cambridge and a terrific candidate for single-family conversion. This well-lived home is a stone's throw from the Charles River and HBS. Thinking of a smart investment? Live comfortably in the spacious top unit with the kitchen, living, and dining areas on the main level, and two bedrooms, one with a study and private deck on the third floor, and a full bath on each level. The 1st-floor unit, complete with a bedroom, living room, and eat-in kitchen, is ripe for Airbnb potential or guest accommodations. For the investor, sprucing up the units and keeping them as rentals unleashes the competitive Cambridge rental market potential. Enjoy tandem parking for two vehicles, a tranquil zen garden, and the convenience of Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods at your doorstep. Harvard, MIT, and Boston are a breezy commute away. Don't miss this Riverside gem - where potential meets prime location!
