About this home

A great Riverside location on a quiet tucked-away private way off of Putnam Ave. very near to Hoyt Field. 2 Ballord Pl. is a small, Mansard Roof single family home (C'1886) with some outdoor space, a large deck and a lot of privacy. Many elements of this house are old and will need repair, replacement and upgrades- both the exterior and interior. Completed, this home will become another one of Cambridge's hidden treasures. You have a great head start- a first floor with high ceilings, lots of natural light with large windows and a newer first floor bath. The roof appears solid, there is active natural gas in basement and a 200 Amp Service. In addition to private-way parking, there is potential to create an off-street spot (which the City recognizes) by making some fence changes. This location with proximity to Central Sq., Whole Foods, Charles River and to Hoyt Field adds value that's hard to quantify. Great opportunity to find and preserve the elusive Cambridge Single Family.

Disclosure
Older, oil-fired hot-water boiler was operating this winter but is out of heating fuel. Older windows in generally poor condition. City deems this a 3 BR. It really is a 2 BR plus a small office (as 2 BR's were combined at one time). Taxes listed do not reflect Cambridge's residential exemption.
