About This Home

As of April 2014

This rare side-by-side two-family residence is tucked away on one of the most sought-after side streets in west Cambridge. With nearly 3,000 square feet of living space, the property lends itself to continued use as a rental investment or conversion to a single-family with an in-law apartment. Passing through the spacious living and dining rooms, the kitchens overlook their own private fenced yard with brick-paved patio; these are perfect spaces for enjoying warm-weather meals as well as gardening. On the second level, each house has 2 spacious bedrooms as well as a full bath. On the third level, each house has an additional private bedroom with closet space. 52 Foster exclusively offers a wood-burning fireplace (should be checked by a professional) with a built-in bookcase above the mantle. 54 Foster offers exposed-brick-walls in the living and dining room and a half bath at the lower-level. Both units offer private basement storage as well as laundry at the lower level.
