About This Home
Nestled in a well-maintained eight-unit brick building, this property is the perfect starter home or investment portfolio addition. Offering both immediate income and long-term growth, the unit is currently leased through July 31, 2026, for $2,700 per month (including a deeded parking space). With rents currently below market rates and neighborhood parking typically commanding $300–$400, there is significant upside potential. The unit features a comfortable layout and a low $405 HOA fee that covers essential expenses such as heat and hot water. Combining steady returns, minimal upkeep, and future appreciation, this is a rare and compelling opportunity. This home delivers a rare trifecta: a prime location, sun-drenched interiors, and effortless livability in a top-tier Cambridge neighborhood. Moments to Central Square, T station, restaurants, and a short walk to Harvard Square.
